Drop Down menu or (Combo box)with frame

Anon

Hi Excuse me I don't speak english very well

I want to know if I have two frames, how can I make a drop down menu (up_Frame), that when I select in menu, the information display in the other frame(Main_Frame). Example.
If you could help me or give me the site or URL to get help about it...

hi,

if you have these frames already all you need is to have this code in the document which you named "up_Frame":
<BODY>
<SELECT onchange="parent.frames['Main_Frame'].location=this.options[this.selectedIndex].value">
<OPTION>Select a location</OPTION>
<OPTION value="http://www.phpbuilder.com">phpbuilder.com</OPTION>
<OPTION value="http://www.phpwizard.com">phpwizard.com</OPTION>
<OPTION value="http://www.hotmail.com">hotmail.com</OPTION>
<OPTION value="http://www.yourpage.com">other link</OPTION>
</SELECT>
</BODY>
///////////////////////
this should load the page into the other frame named: "Main_Frame".

hope you'll find this workful, just written it so it might not be the best way.

the links are just for demonstration

The javascript I use is:
parent.Main_Frame.location = this.options[this.selectedIndex].value

I don't know if it's any better than Nick's, but it definitely works.

Be very careful when you use javascript, because major browsers have different ways to talk about html objects. So something that works in IE may not work in Netscape, and something that works in Netscape Navigator may not work in Netscape 6.

There are some good javascript web pages that talk about the differences.
