Help with data across frames

sks1024

I have a simple frameset with 2 frames

left.html - leftFrame
right.html - mainFrame

I have a pdf set to open in the right frame with this call when the frameset loads.

I have simple html links in the left frame that I want to access the bookmarks in the of the pdf file in the right frame with some sort of javascript onclick trigger possibly.

I know how to access the bookmarks in the pdf as this works great if the pdf and links are on the same page.

file.pdf#item1 or file.pdf#page=1

I am having a major issue passing this data from one frame to another. I know this is a php forum but I have looked high and low for a solution. You guys here always point me in the right direction.

Thanks in advance,
S

It's been a long time since I've worked with frames, but if I recall correctly, to have the links in the "leftFrame" change the data in the "mainFrame", you simply add the "target='mainFrame'" as an attribute in your "<a href... link" tags.
