Target="contents"

Posted 10 May 2009 - 11:20 AM

It has been a while sense I have done any Frame HTML. I have forgotten how to get all of it to work. Here is what I have: 
Frame Set
*******************
<html>
<head>
<title>title2.html</title>
</head>
<frameset rows="50,200,50">
<frame name="title" scrolling="no" noresize target="contents" src="title.html">
<frameset cols="225,*">
<frame name="menu.html" target="contents" src="menu.html">
<frame name="contents" scrolling="yes" noresize target="contents" src="contents.html">
</frameset>
<frame name="bottom" scrolling="no" noresize target="contents" src="Status.html">
<noframes>
</noframes>
</frameset>
</html>
********************************************************************************************************************************************************
Menu page
***************
<HTML>
<HEAD>
  <script language="javascript">
<!--//
function press()
{if (event.button==2) {
alert('sorry, you cannot do that')}}
document.onmousedown=press
//--> </SCRIPT>
  <TITLE>Menu</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY BACKGROUND="BackGround/parchment.gif">
<TABLE>
   <TR>
	  <TD><IMG SRC="Button/home.gif" WIDTH="190" HEIGHT="50" BORDER="0"><A HREF="News.html" Target="content.html"></A><BR>

	  </TD>
   </TR>
</TABLE>
</BODY></HTML>
****************************************************************************************************************************************************************
News Page
*****************
<HTML>
<HEAD>
  <script language="javascript">

******************************************************************************************************************************************************************
Communucate Page

<BODY BACKGROUND="BackGround/parchment.gif">
Hello 
</BODY></HTML>


Top, menu, and bottom works. I can not get the third frame space to work. There are several other buttons however if I can get these two to work I can do the rest. I need Frame #3 to change accordingly to the button clicked.

I don't think you should specify the target-attribute in the frames, only in the a-tags which should change the contents of the frames. An a-tag like this:
<a href="url.html" target="content">URL</a>

should change the content of a frame like this:
<frame name="content" scrolling="yes" noresize  src="contents.html">


It has been a long time since I did any work with frames at all so I could be wrong! I would also recommend that you didn't use any frames at all! It's not that very "hipp" anymore, if you allow me to say so!

Hope it works out though! :)

It should actually work the way I presented it to you, I just checked the W3Schools Frames Tutorial and they do it the exact same way, perhaps you did something wrong? :)

try using javascript. for example:

<input type="button" name="Google" onclick="java script:parent.content.location.href='Content.htm'">


btw, is there some code in place to prevent javascript from being worded together?

Isn't that just going to make it even worse? Frames + Javascript navigation, what a blend! :)

Hmmm... Maybe... But it worked for me... I successfully wrote a page using 3 frames, where an URL enter manually in one frame change the Location of the second frame.

Edit: href changed to reflect Google as button name suggested

Of course you did, but that's not the issue really, say that a visitor doesn't have javascript activated or somehow doesn't have a browser that use javascript, this visitor wouldn't be able to navigate the site and frames is just bad enough on its own! :)

hmmm... frames are bad.... however, you could use a javascript with something like this:

<script language="javascript">
function OpenSite() {
	document.clear();
	document.writeln("<Title>Title</Title>");
	document.writeln("<script language='javascript' src='MainScript.js'>");
	document.writeln("</Script>");
	document.writeln("<Frameset COLS='30%,*' border=0>");
	document.writeln("	<Frame src='Frame1.htm' name='data'>");
	document.writeln("<Frameset ROWS='90%,10%,*'>");
	document.writeln("	<Frame id=mainframe src='Frame2.htm' name='main'>");
	document.writeln("	<Frame src='name.htm'>");
	document.writeln("</Frameset>");
	document.writeln("</Frameset>");
}
</script>

<noscript>.
You do not have javascript enabled. <a href="noscriptindex.htm">Click here</a> to enter the non-javascript site
</noscript>

<input type="button" name="enter site" onclick="OpenSite();">


been a while since I coded any of this, so a little grace on the coding.... :blink:
