Two Frames, one action, update both, How??

Hi All,
My site has two frames, one with a menu system, one with the
selected results.
I can select a menu item and get the other frame to reflect that
selection.

But I want to select 'log out' from the menu and remove the menu sytem
as well as putting a default welcome page in to 2nd frame.

Any ideas will be gratefully received

New to PHP, and HTML

Hi STeve,

You are probably new to JavaScript then also. :-)
You need Javascript to update more frames at once.
That eans that visitors with JavaScript disabled will not be able to use
your site.
You might consider a setup without frames.

If you want to solve it with JavaScript, try something like this:
[for more question try cop.lang.javascript]

The framedefinition:
2 frames, name them, eg "navframe" and "mainframe"
navframe contains a file named nav.php
mainframe contains any file.

If somebody clicks on 'logout' in nav.php:
<a href="" onClick="doLogOut();return false;">logout</a>

<script type="text/javascript">
function doLogOut(){
// replace two pages in a frame:
top.frames["mainframe"].location="welcome.php";
top.frames["navframe"].location="whatever.php";
}
</script>

not tested, might contain typos. ;-)
Good luck.

You have a page containing two frames. That page is probably called
index.htm. This contains code to load other .htm files into two
starting frames. Just make a copy of this file and edit it so that it
points to two different starting frames. If you save that file as
newframeset.htm you can jet to it with the following:

<a href='newframeset.htm' target='_parent'>Log out of menu</a>

If you want the menu back do the same thing in reverse.

That said, frames are generally regarded as the work of the devil these
days because of the difficulty in bookmarking pages.
