who knows JavaScript?

[Vince Wilcox]

I hope this is not a dumb question, although I also hope it is easy to answer
and you can help. I am an HTML designer and have run into a frames problem
that I think can be solved by a Javascript. Here is the problem;

My HTML page is a frames page that gets it's content from three different
souces. The top half is a head banner frame, the bottom left is a navigation
frame, and the bottom right is a frame with content depending upon the last
link you selected. There is an example of what I am talking about at http://www.elusivetreasures.com/start.html

You will have to click your back button to select the second link and see
the bottom right contect change. I would like to create one frame page,
making the top and left frame always remain the same. Then, while the viewer
is at the "sart.html" page thay will click on the list and this link will
take them to the frames page and the "linked" text page will be inserted
into the bottom Right of the frames page.

I want to do this so that I only need to create one frame page and then a
page for each link. Currently, I have to create a frames page for each link
on the "start.html" page and a content page for the bottom right, content
section.

Can you help me with this?

No JavaScript required here.

in your frame tags on the frame.html file
you should have a name attribute..
eg..
<frame src="file.html" Name="bottom_right">

then in the link tag, you need to put a target in...
eg.
<a href src"page2.html" target="bottom-right">link </A>

that way the page will be displayed in which ever frame you have targeted.

any questions email me back..
