Actually, this question was addressed extensively this morning, Europe
time, but not posted to group as it is outside of usual concerns.
In any case, I wrote the following, which I believe is the most elegant
and I've tested on both NS3 and IE4. No SCRIPT tag or script URL is
necessary. It can all be done in the document with the addition of a
single event handler. *location* could be *location.href*.
--------------------
to update frames 2 and 3 from frame 1 in a frameset:
<A
HREF="fourth.html" TARGET="frSecond" onClick="parent.frThird.location =
'fifth.html'">Load 2 other frames</A>
to update frame 2 and 3 from frame 2 in a frameset:
<A
HREF="third.html" TARGET="frThird" onClick="location =
'second.html'">Load over me and the third frame</A>
or some variation.
