Example: A link on a navbar points to iframe "nav" currently. But I also want that link to point to "nav" and "content". Is this possible? If not, what are some workarounds?
Try this, I believe it will do the trick:
function twoFrameChange(nav,content){
top.iframe1.location.href = nav;
top.iframe2.location.href = content;
}
<a href="javascript:twoFrameChange('nav.htm','content.htm');">link1</a>
<edit>fixed script</edit>

function twoFrameChange(nav,content){
top.iframe1.location.href = nav;
top.iframe2.location.href = content;
}
<a href="javascript:twoFrameChange('nav.htm','content.htm');">
you need to change the frame names to the names of your frames here:
top.iframe1.location.href = nav;
top.iframe2.location.href = content;
The javascript function should go inside the head tag inside a script tag.
What is happening when you run it eleven? Works in Opera and IE here.

<iframe name="iframe1" src="http://www.yahoo.com"></iframe>
<iframe name="iframe2" src="http://www.google.com"></iframe>

<a href="javascript:twoFrameChange('http://www.msn.com','http://www.alltheweb.com');">link1</a>
</body>
</html>
The main reason I wanted the targetting to go to two iframes is that I ran into a design flaw with my site in that the first frame has navigational links in it EXCEPT the homepages iframe. DOH! Now, with both the nav and content frame showing material, I can put updates on the content frames html page and keep the homepage "banner" in the nav iframe the same.
Life is good...
