retrieve the location of a page in a frame

Fre

Hi, i made script with an alert window that should show me the location of
the page in frame CONTENT (..../artikels.aspx).
But it don't work, i got an error: 'top.frames.1.f rames' is empty or nog an
object.

When i try with: alert(top.locat ion)
i get the location of my index page, that works, but when i use the frame
arrays nothing works

Here is my code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Frameset//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/frameset.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<TITLE>My Title</TITLE>
<script>
alert(top.frame s[1].frames[1].frames[0].location);
</script>
</head>
<frameset cols="*,765,*" frameborder="no " border="0" framespacing="0 ">
<frame name="left" noresize src="bgframe.ht m">
<frameset rows="111,*" cols="*" frameborder="NO " border="0"
framespacing="0 ">
<frame name="head" src="header.htm " noresize scrolling="no">
<frameset cols="*,200" frameborder="NO " border="0" framespacing="0 ">
<frame name="content" src="artikels.a spx" scrolling="yes" >
<frame name="menu" src="menu.aspx" noresize scrolling="no">
</frameset>
</frameset>
<frame name="right" noresize src="bgframe.ht m">
</frameset>
<noframes>
<body>
<p>This page uses frames, but your browser doesn't support them.</p>
</body>
</noframes>
</html>

Thx in advance!

<script>
The type attribute is required. This should read

<script type="text/javascript">
alert(top.frame s[1].frames[1].frames[0].location);
</script>

At this point, the browser hasn't begun reading the frame and frameset
elements below, so the frames collection is empty. Either place the script
element below the closing frameset tag, or execute the script "onload".

[snipped frameset HTML]

You should really aim to avoid frames. CSS navigation menus are preferable.

This is probably what you're after. The frames collection contains all of
the frames in a window, not per frameset. That means that "left" is frame
0, "head" is frame 1, "content" is frame 2, "menu" is frame 3, and "right"
is frame 4.

I took the liberty to make your sample validate (see
<URL:http://validator.w3.or g/>).

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Frameset//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/frameset.dtd">

<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type"
content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

<title>My Title</title>

<script type="text/javascript">
function displayFrameSrc ( idx ) {
alert( frames[ idx ].location.href );
}
</script>
</head>

<frameset cols="*,765,*" onload="display FrameSrc(2)">
<frame name="left" noresize src="bgframe.ht m" frameborder="0" >
<frameset rows="111,*" cols="*">
<frame name="head" src="header.htm " noresize scrolling="no"
frameborder="0" >
<frameset cols="*,200">
<frame name="content" src="artikels.a spx" scrolling="yes"
frameborder="0" >
<frame name="menu" src="menu.aspx" noresize scrolling="no"
frameborder="0" >
</frameset>
</frameset>
<frame name="right" noresize src="bgframe.ht m" frameborder="0" >

Thank you very much Mike to take time solving my problem!
Since you told me that the frames collection contains all of the frames in a
window i understand it perfect now.
I've read many forums before this post and there i've read some articles
with the use of this scriptline:
top.frames[1].frames[0].location (forum i visited for this script:
http://www.asp.net/Forums/ShowPost.a...&PostID=507978)

In the past i worked already with css for some of my school projects but for
this one i started working with frames (don't ask why :) but this is the
last time i do it this way)

Determining another frames location

The idea is that the researcher is able to use Internet Explorer or Mozilla, or whichever browser to search for information and then be able to paste little tidbits of information to a seperate frame which will then be associated with the page they are viewing in the main page. So basically you have a 'main' frame which the researcher uses to google, and surf...
