Hi all.
I am, using Java for drop down menus, code follows. What I have not yet been able to figure out is how to make java display the page I select in a different frame. This is what is in the <HEAD> of one of my Pages.
<SCRIPT language="JavaScript">
function navigate(form)
{
var go = (form.linkList.options[form.linkList.selectedIndex].value);
document.location.href=go;
}
</SCRIPT>My Frames page structure is as follows:
<html>
<head>
<title>Jim's Model Collection</title>
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 4.0">
<meta name="ProgId" content="FrontPage.Editor.Document">
</head>
<frameset rows="52,*" framespacing="0" border="0" frameborder="0">
<frame name="header" scrolling="no" noresize target="contents" src="header.html">
<frameset cols="247,*">
<frame name="nav" target="main" src="metnav.htm" scrolling="auto" noresize>
<frame name="main" src="metlogo.html" scrolling="auto" noresize target="main">
</frameset>
<noframes>
<body>
<p>This page uses frames, but your browser doesn't support them.</p>
</body>
</noframes>
</frameset>
</html>The following is a sample menu:
<FORM METHOD=post>
<img src="food/images/decades.gif" width="161" height="44">
<br>
<SELECT NAME="linkList" onChange="navigate(this.form)">
<OPTION Value="">Select
<OPTION Value="30nav.htm">1930s
<OPTION Value="40nav.htm">1940s
<OPTION Value="50nav.htm">1950s
<OPTION Value="60nav.htm">1960s
<OPTION Value="70nav.htm">1970s
<OPTION Value="80nav.htm">1980s
<OPTION Value="90nav.htm">1990s
</OPTION>
</SELECT>
</FORM>Using the above menu, how would I make 30nav.htm display in the main frame? I have tried <base target=main> in the <HEAD>, and that did not work. In some instances, I would want it to, how to I put this so everyone understands, use target=top so I get a new display, for example, I want to load a different frames page with different menus, and filler pages. Is what I'm trying to do even possible? Does everyone understand what I'm trying to do?
Thanks.
Jim.
