frames ... and how to deal with them

[Bert Van Doninck]

Hi

I am kinda new to js so this might be an easy one to experts like you ...

I am setting up a website with frames (classic layout: banner, navigation
bar and main window).

In the navigation frame (name is 'frmLeft') I have some pics which switch
colors on event onMouseOver, no problem so far. But on this same
onMouseOver event I want to load another html in another frame (frmRight)
.... can you tell me how to do this?

Similar when I trigger onMouseOver in frmLeft I want to change a pic in
frmRight (without loading another html file) ... I suppose this must be
possible but I don't know how ...

An url were a can find some decent explanations concerning how to work with
frames in js is also very welcome ...

Hi,
Generally speaking ...don't use frames, as it upset a lot of users.

But if you really have to, refer to the co-frame with top.framename

Something like

onmouseover="top.frmRight.location='blah.html';"

onmouseover="top.frmRight.document.Images['ImgName'].src='Gif1.gif';"
