Using Location Object in frame

[Jerryt]

I am using the Location object to navigate to a certain page. The following
works form me.

'''''''WORKS
<script language="VBScript">
Function GotoLInk(lc_location)
location.href=lc_location
End Function
</script>

However, I am using a frame and the button that contains this code is in
the left frame. I want the LOCATION.HREF to display the page in the right
frame.

How can I tell the LOCATION object to show the web page in the right frame?
If there a TARGET="" option anywhere?

Thanks,

Jerryt

Hello Jerry,
You can achieve this by a tricky method.
Location does not have TARGET.
Do as follows
Crate a dummy form
<form name="dummy"
action="XXXXX"
TARGET="FRAMENAME">
</form>
Then just do a programatic submitlike

document.dummy.Submit();

Hope this will solve your problem

Actually the easier method is to do something like ...

parent.[your frame name goes here].location.href = [new web page goes
here]

or something like ...

parent.document.all.[your frame name goes here].src = [new web page goes
here]

I know the second one works and I am pretty sure the first one does too but
I do not have any of my code samples to look at right now so ...
