Re: Loading a document in a new frame with JavaScript

[Gordon McComb <gmccomb@ix.netcom.com>]

One way: Use the location object, and tie it in with the frame you want to
change.  For example, if the frame name (as specified in the AME= attribute
in the frameset document) is "frame1," then you do this:

parent.frame1.location = "anotherurl.html";

Of course, replace "anotherurl.html" with the name of the document you want
to load into the frame.

The other way, if you're using a a link, is to add the TARGET= attribute:

<A HREF="anotherurl.html" TARGET="frame1">Click me</A>
