programmaticaly activate link

Fri, 16 Apr 2004 02:45:49 -0700

Hi,
I just wondered if there's any way to programmaticaly activate a link.
What I want to do is after pressing a button, change the content of one of the frames on my HTML page.
Then when that frame is loaded with the new HTML context, I want to automatically have another frame change it context...
Any idea how I could do this?

You can use the onLoad() of the first frame for that. In the newly loaded fram place a function in its onLoad(), which updates the frame with the button.

Could you please give a bit more details about the last part. I understand the onLoad() functionality, but I still don't know what the syntax is to change the content of a frame.
Normally you have a hyperlink and there you define a target and href, but I don't know how to do this programmatically

Here is a page from a great javascript tutorial, which explains the code you need: http://www.pageresource.com/jscript/jframe2.htm. It also includes a working example.
