Tech Support Forum - View Single Post - Affecting 2 Frames from another Frame on Separate Page... please help

Hi and thanks for reading.

My website is http://www.semiotically.com/

There are 3 frames: 2 within the index file and another on separate page. I want the latter one to be able to load separate content within the former 2 by users clicking single link etc.

At the right-hand side of the page is a 'menu' with: environment; possessions; perspectives; hair. When clicked they load images in an external IFrame page just right of the menu. These individual images once clicked load pages (sometimes my own/ mostly external) within the main centre frame (typically there are a couple of exceptions that load new tabs). Please try this if you wish to be sure.

So at the moment the third frame loads content solely in the 1st frame of the index page and not in the 2nd additional (small) frame underneath.

I need to create a javascript that as well as opening the main centre frame, also can affect the IFrame directly beneath the centre frame: i.e. affect 2 frames simultaneously. At the moment this is causing diffulties as the side-menu loads separate IFrame pages to the index meaning Framesets are currently inviable. I could contain images in individual frames that all are contained within the index page (like other 2 frames) allowing use of Framesets, though this would entail many frames and perhaps a more elegant code is available for the current setup.

I think this might be quite simple to answer once readers understand the issue at hand, so please request additional info if you think it can help, I'll respond quick as lightning ;)

Thank you,

Sem White.
