Question: Can I update two (or more) frames simultaneously?
Answer:
Yes. The easiest way to update several frames simultaneously is
to have a
For example, suppose you have two frames,
left and right, defined in a FRAMESET like this:
<FRAMESET cols="200,*" border=3 frameborder=yes framespacing=2 > <FRAME SRC="leftpage.htm" NAME="left"> <FRAME SRC="rightpage.htm" NAME="right"> </FRAMESET>Then a function for updating both frames might look like this:
function updateBothFrames() {
top.left.location="newpage1.htm";
top.right.location="newpage2.htm";
}
This function can be called when the user presses a button or clicks a hyperlink.
The following examples show the HTML code for a button and hyperlink that invoke the function:
<a href=#
onclick="updateBothFrames();return false;"
>Click here</a>
<input type=button
value="Press me"
onclick="updateBothFrames();"
