quick iframes question

Is there any way to make a link change things in two different iframes at the same time?


for example. IN one iframe(named 'links'), I have links that open up pages in a different iframe(named 'main'). In the links iframe, I have a little boxed x that makes that iframe blank(makes the links dissapear). Besides making the links dissapear, I would also like the 'main' iframe revert back to the 'home' image.


hopefully I explained it well enough.

Could be done in JS..

I´m not very experienced in frames when it comes to JavaScript, but I think it would be wise to put it in a function like;
function changeSomething()
{
framename.document.write("paavorules")
framename2.document.DIVname.innerHTML=""
}

...or something... I´m tired and realy drunk now, so ignore this.. Maybe it´ll give you ideas...

thanks

did you ever find a way to do this, snivlem? I need to do a similar thing....

Hey I just thought of an easy way to do this... It's the way I'm going to do it for my site.

Just have the link load one of your iFrames. Then in the page that loads into that iFrame, have an "onLoad" event that triggers another page to be loaded into your second iFrame. That way you don't really have to mess with very much complex javascript. Onload things are really easy to do in Dreamweaver, if you have that.

If that won't work for your site, then try this tutorial...

i gave up on the idea once he mentioned java script as I don't know that much about it.


I'll try the tutorial. thanks.
