What is the onload event handler needed to get # assigned to parent variable? What I tried didn't work!
Code is from JS bible, page 127-8 with some minor alterations by me.

The onload = bit didn't work. I don't want the next page in the frame to come up until the user clicks on goNext. When I click on goNext, nothing happens.
Thanks!

Using

Lastly, I tried this:

Change the src of the iframe.

Excuse the denseness of my brain, but what would I change the src too?
Changing the body onload url to c1.html gives me the alert boxes but doesn't give me c2.html.

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

body onload="parent.currTitle.location='/gaming/2/word/cipher/f/c/c1.html'">

If I change it to c2.html, then the user doesn't get to do c1.html first. If I change it to 3.html, one doesn't get the correct page at all. The currOffset is suppose to be the page number the

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

...cipher/f/c/c" + currOffset + ".html";

and is suppose to give me the url folders + file name c + number attached to file name + .html.
Thanks!

I was changing the onload event handler in the 2.html doc.
Changing the onload event handler on c1 and c2 to

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

<body onload="parent.currTitle.location='/gaming/2/word/cipher/f/c/c1.html'">

Or having the link be to 2.html didn't work.

The iframe links are to the exact page that the user should see first. I don't understand what they should link too. I'm suppose to be able to change the frame content without having to change the entire page.

But, I never get page c2 and z2 (the helper file) to load.

Anyone have any clues? I appreciate the answer "change the src of the iFrame" but I don't understand what I'm suppose to change it too.
Thanks!

For accessing iframes, see link.

You have not defined goNext() properly, hence the errors. You can't parse the iframe object and get a number.

Sorry, but I've read and reread that page several times, did lots of research and didn't understand it. Why I've not posted back until now. He is not trying to get 2 frames to move using only 1 button. I have yet to understand anything at the quirksmode site. It not them, its me.

According to the JavaScript bible, one can indeed have 2 frames that change their content according to 1 link. Most of the code originated from that book. However, I can NOT figure out how to change their code to my purposes. I am ready to give up!
No one on the web even does what I am attempting to do! I am going to attempt to email the author and see if he can figure out what the beep I am doing wrong! He has a 'help file' that loads on the bottom frame, and a 'normal page' that loads in the top frame, and the navigation frame on the left. Which is where my code is different. I don't have navigation on the left, it on the very bottom. Plus, I have a rotating image thingy on the top left. I'm just trying to get the code to move 2 frames forward 1 notch with each click of the button. If I were to use a link array, how would one get the contents of that link to show up? showArray doesn't work. BuildArray won't work.
It would probably be easier if I were to just learn how to write the silly cipher game in JS to begin with, instead of trying to use HTML and only use JS to move the silly pages in the frames. Then again maybe not, as I am a complete idiot when it comes to understanding JavaScript!
Sorry for rambling. I've had a headache for 4 days and trying to understand this at the same time. Not working. Thanks.

I found a different code that works better. I'm just going to have the z1 page in a frame on the c1page. They will have to click on a series of links they want. I'm just not getting JavaScript yet and link structure and all. :>)

Thanks for trying to help me!
This case closed.
