Frames

I have four frames. The first frame has links in it, the others all display info. Is there anyway to make all three change when I click a link?

I have no idea on this, but iam sure that you can achieve what you want if use tables or css in designing your web pages.
do u know that frames has some pros and cons?

This can be done with javascript -- you need client-side scripting.

Thanks. I can't use tables because of the nature of the site (I won't try to explain because it's quite complicated).

It gets a little harder though, one of the frames I am trying to change is inside another frame...I can change it on it's own from the link but not with any others.

My thoughts were perhaps you could target the header("Location:...") function to open in a different frame but I'll give the JS ago

The JS doesn't work. I can only change one frame at a time using the HTML target tag.

This is the JS I was using...

<a href="home.php"
onClick="window.category.location='cat1.php'" target="contents">
Home</a>

I've tried swopping it around (having 'contents' in the JS) but still, only the frame names in the target works. I've tried the page in both FF and IE.

Try that...

nope - no good

In IE I have debug turned on and it says...

'window.menu2' is null or not an object
