I need some help with changing content in one frame by clicking on a button in another frame.
Lets say I have two frames in a frame set; left and right. left has a link that triggers some jscript to modify the content in right. As I understand one must use code similair to below, BUT this does not work. Also AND unfortunately it must work in NS4.
-------------------------------
top.frames[right].document.layers['divInrightFrame'].document.open();
top.frames[right].document.layers['divInrightFrame'].document.write("new content");
top.frames[right].document.layers['divInrightFrame'].document.close();
--------------------------------
So all its supposed to do is to change the text in my div within the right frame to something else.
Please Help.
Thanks
welcome to webmasterworld..
i havent taken much of a lok at this , but you seem to be adressing the name of the frame you are referencing in the top.frames[name]... without quotes.. which never helps.. should be top.frames["framename"].document.etc.etc.blah
i would always advise to download FF and take a look at the javascript console when things dont work, i find it a little more helpful than IEs little error trianlge in the corner..
btw there are loads of nice frame examples all over the place..

That is indeed unfortunate.
natty's point about quoting is true
- unless, that is, right is a variable that holds the name as a string.
That code should work for NS4 (touching wood), as long as it's called after the page has fully loaded. It wont, of course, work anywhere else. You have the up-to-date code, I presume?
