Click on Nav Bar changing content of two frames - Macromedia Dreamweaver

[Murray *TMM*]

Happy:

There is a solution for this, but you won't like it. Don't use frames.
Really.

If you consider your options, and still elect to use frames, think about
this -

What happens to your site when you change multiple frames from a single
click, and then the viewer presses the browser BACK button?

Your client doesn't have the experience or knowhow to make this decision.
That's where you come in. You are the web developer. That's your job, not
the client's.

How about the refresh taking you back to the default frame configuration?

How about printing giving the wrong output?

Nevermind. Select the trigger and apply the gotoURL behavior to it. Now
you can change the source of every frame in your site with a single click on
that trigger by selecting a frame in list and browsing to its new source.

"Go to URL" seems to only work as a MouseOver feature, not on "OnClick" feature.

Happy:

Select the event, and drop down the event list by clicking on the dark
triangle to the right of the event name in the Behaviors panel. Make sure
your Events For is set to v4+ browsers. You'll see it there....

Okay, I have figured it out... it actually only takes a bit of simple scripting.

What I added to this navigation bar code is in bold. Everything else was already created by Dreamweaver.

The button with this language resides in the "navFrame", clicking it changed the content in "mainFrame" and NOT in "leftFrame", so adding the language in bold changed it to also open a new html page in "leftFrame".

<a href="approach.html" target="mainFrame" onClick="<b>parent.leftFrame.location = 'approach_left.html';</b> MM_nbGroup('down','group1','approach','images/approach_mo.gif',1)" onMouseOver="MM_nbGroup('over','approach','images/approach_mo.gif','images/approach_mo.gif',1)" onMouseOut="MM_nbGroup('out')"><img src="images/approach_mo.gif" alt="approach" name="approach" border="0" onload="MM_nbGroup('init','group1','approach','ima ges/approach.gif',1)"></a>

That's not only invalid code, it is not going to work at all! 8(

You cannot have HTML tags inside javascript calls like that -

onClick="<b>parent.leftFrame.location

The answer I gave you will work without creating invalid code.
