Doulble html link

Johng · 08-07-2013, 06:05 PM

Can someone tell me what is wrong with this:

<a href="Menu.html" target="leftFrame" onClick="mainFrame.location='aboutus.html';">Return to main menu</a> 

I want to return to a menu and page from another menu and page.

Try to do everything from JS:

Code:

<span onclick="leftFrame.location.href='Menu.html'; mainFrame.location.href='aboutus.html'">Click</span>

Thanks, unfortunately that does not create a hyperlink, only an inactive Click.

This is the line I am trying to replace with dual action:
 
<a href="Menu.html">Return to menu</a> 
 

The line below jumps to Menu.html, but does not open aboutus.html in mainFrame

<a href="Menu.html" target="leftFrame" onClick="mainFrame.location='aboutus.html';">Return to main menu</a>

If you so want it to be an anchor, then try this:

Code:

<a href='#'
   onclick="leftFrame.location.href='Menu.html';
            mainFrame.location.href='aboutus.html';
            return false;">Click</a>

Thank you again. This time Click is a hyperlink, but does nothing.

Below is the complete file (with your suggestion included), may be there's something missing?

There is no leftFrame or mainFrame in your source. Please use [code] and [/code] tags when quoting source.

Re: There is no leftFrame or mainFrame in your source.

What does that mean? The left and main frames work as they should, other than the "Return to Menu" function I'm trying to implement. Is it defined in the index.html file?

Code:

<frameset cols="165,*" frameborder="NO" border="0" framespacing="0" rows="*"> 
  <frame name="leftFrame" scrolling="NO" noresize src="Menu.html">
  <frame name="mainFrame" src="aboutus.html">
</frameset>
