I am using frames (don't ask why I just am), and what I want to do is when a user clicks a button on "frame 2" it'll redirect them to another page, AND when they click the button, "frame 1" will change to another page as well. How do I come about doing this?

You have to have another HTML document that contains the two desired pages in a different FRAMESET. Then have the link in "frame 2" refer to '_parent' in its target attribute rather than the name of a frame.

ok that kind of CONFUSED ME ALOT! please restate the reply.

<INPUT TYPE="submit" TARGET="_parent">

Is this what you mean?

[derek.sullivan]

Here is an example of what I mean... Im in frame 2 (the form area), there is another frame above it. When I click submit, it'll not only take me to another page in frame 2 (the form area), but also will relocate me to another page in the above frame.

Ignore my previous comment anyway, I must've been tired! I think I understand more clearly now though (target should've been specified in form tag, not input).

For your submit button, make it something like:

<INPUT TYPE="submit" ONCLICK="parent.frame1.location.href='newpage.html'">

I think this javascript implementation should work? It will submit the form data to frame2 (frame2 being the form, and it loading to self by default) and then load newpage.html in frame1 - or did you want the form data to be submitted to two different pages each in a different frame?

Javascript isn't ideal - though to my knowledge it's the most practical solution to what I see as your problem

[derek.sullivan]

well, i figured it out and javascript is ideal....

for futre refrence it's something like this

<script language="Javascript">
function changeWindows() {

parent.frame1.location = '';
parent.frame2.location = '';

}
</script>

Then run your function!
