Hello,
Can anyone tell me how to update a frame from a link outside the frame in an other window.
From top frame i want to open a window itself and from that window clicking on links to open contents in botton frame(top frame=10%, bottom=*).

Thanks in advance

There are a couple of methods.

parent.frames['framename'].location.href='http://www.google.com'
or
parent.framename.location.href=...

lots of info here

Hello again,

Please can you give a tiny example of it because i have not been working with HTML for long.I don't get it how i would incorporate code to redirect a page back to main frame.

Open a window from top frame and from that window open a link into bottom frame while that window shrinks upon link openning and becoming active and can be refered to if need to open another link into bottom frame again.
I feel ediot but please help me.

Hello,

This is just an example of code i will be using

*loaded page*
<FRAMESET ROWS="20,*,12" FRAMEBORDER=0 BORDER=0 >
<FRAME NAME="top" SRC="yellow1.html" MARGINHEIGHT=0 MARGINWIDTH=0 SCROLLING=NO NORESIZE>
<FRAMESET COLS="15,*,25" FRAMEBORDER=0 BORDER=0 >
<FRAME NAME="left" SRC="blue1.html" MARGINHEIGHT=0 MARGINWIDTH=0 SCROLLING=AUTO NORESIZE>
<FRAME NAME="main" SRC="red.html" MARGINHEIGHT=0 MARGINWIDTH=0 SCROLLING=1 NORESIZE>
<FRAME NAME="right" SRC="cyan.html" MARGINHEIGHT=0 MARGINWIDTH=0 SCROLLING=AUTO NORESIZE>
</FRAMESET>
<FRAME NAME="bottom" SRC="green.html" MARGINHEIGHT=0 MARGINWIDTH=0 SCROLLING=NO NORESIZE>
<NOFRAMES>
Use this section to tell surfers using older browsers that: 
1) Your browser is incapable of Frames, so they should consider upgrading to a newer version.. or 
2) Add a link to a version of your site that doesn't use frames.
</NOFRAMES>
</FRAMESET>

*yellow1.html*

<body topmargin="0" leftmargin="0" bgcolor="#A06AA0">
<table><tr><td nowrap>
[<a href="my.html" target="_blank">my doc</a>]

[<a href="your.html" target="_blank">your doc</a>]
.
.
.
.
.
.
so and so forth.
</td></tr></table>

*my.htm*

<BODY TEXT="#000000" LINK="black" VLINK="BLACK" ALINK="#FF301F">
<BODY BGCOLOR="#99CC99">

<table border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="5" width="100%">

<tr align="center"><td><a href="../index.html">Home Page</a></td><td></tr> <div align="center">bla bla</div>
</table> 
<center>Full Screen</center> 
<table width="100%" border="0" align="center" summary="">
<tr>
<td><a href="http://www. want to open in main red.html(middle frame)" target="main window">Debate</a></td>
<td><a href="http://www. want to open in main red.htm(middle frame)" target="main window">Debate</a></td>
<td><a href="http://www. want to open in main red.htm(middle frame)" target="main window">Debate</a></td>
<td><a href="http://www. want to open in main red.htm(middle frame)" target="main window">Debate</a></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><a href="http://www. want to open in main red.htm(middle frame)" target="main window">Debate</a></td>
<td><a href="http://www. want to open in main red.htm(middle frame)" target="main window">Debate</a></td>
<td><a href="http://www. want to open in main red.htm(middle frame)" target="main window">Debate</a></td>
<td><a href="http://www. want to open in main red.htm(middle frame)" target="main window">Debate</a></td>
</tr>
<tr>
.
.
.
.
so on and so forth
</tr>
</table>

(My.html and your.html are windows opened from top frame(yellow1.html).They contian links which upon clicking redirect and open content in main which is red.html.i need code that will accomplish only for this section. )

* cyan.html*
<BODY BGCOLOR="#A06AA0">
</BODY>

* blue1.html*
<BODY BGCOLOR="#A06AA0">
</BODY>

*green.html*
<BODY BGCOLOR="#A06AA0">
</BODY>

*red.html*
<BODY BGCOLOR="#000000" valign="top">
</BODY>

Thank you

You need to reference your frame name
change target="main window" to
target="main"
