HTML Borders, I want to click a link, and make the other frame change?

Question

So i've got two frames, Frame A and Frame B...

Frame A has an icon button and is hyperlinked to a page...

How do I type in it, so that when you hit the button for the hyperlink, it takes down by frames and goes to one full sized page?

As of right now, when I click the link, only frame A changes and frame B stays the same, I want both frame A and Frame B to go away and go to that page if this makes any sense?

Answer 1

just after the url, add target="FrameB">

I agree with the discouraged use of framesets. She is correct, but sometimes it cannot be avoided....just please look for another way.

Answer 2

When you set the links on a framed structure, you need to specify which frame will the link loads into.

In your case, you need to set your Target to Top or Blank instead of having it set to either Frame A or Frame B. Top will display the link on top of the current page/s displayed replacing the whole thing, Blank will display your linked page in another New Window.

So if your links or buttons are on Frame A then set the targets of those links to Frame B, then definitely your linked page will appear on Frame B's allocated space.

Take note, when you save it..there will be three (3) files to save if you got two (2) frames. One file for each frame, and the the entire frameset as the third file. So when you open it, its neither FrameA nor Frame B pages, it will be the Frameset that will display both frames on your browser appearing as one.

Now, if you got other page links to be displayed on your Frame B, then you need to do them one by one. Then when you set the links of your buttons just make sure you set the right target frame where you want these links to appear.

Don't use frames. Research divs and layers using CSS.
