Is it possible to open two frames with one URL?

The Natural Philosopher

...consider a framed set of windows. Menu items replace the content frame
preserving the menu frame. Easy peasy.

One menu item would ideally replace the content frame AND the menu frame
as well, to allow access to a new set of menus,.

Can you have a URL with two targets? or is it down to a javascript
onclick() handler to replace two windows using a hand crafted function?

No, but a URL can point to an entirely new frameset, target="top",
specifying a new "menu" and a new "content".

Not a javascript problem.

If you have server side processing, that is the best solution. You could
have each link point to the frameset and have two parameters. The menu
page and the content page file names. Then the server can return the
appropriate source for the frameset.

You can do 100 in a function if you wanted. The limit would be when you
crashed the system from too many open windows. The error message I got
from IE7 when opening 100 new windows was:

Not enough storage is available to complete this operation

window.open won't help you with frames though.

Problem with window.open

by: len.hartley | last post by:

Hi, I am trying to pop-up a window when the user clicks on an image. The problem is that when the user clicks on the image and the window pops up OK, but the window underneath also proceeds to the image. The desired behavior is that when the pop-up is invoked, I want the underlying window to stay put. I don't have this problem when I run the code on my local computer but I do have it when I run the code on geocities.

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
