This is a pretty simple demo.This demo shows you how to use Javascript to change to URL of a page that is viewed inside of a frame. This is a pretty simple demo. The main context that you need to use is: parent.[frame name].location.href = 'pagename.htm'; You can use this in your scrips to change the contents of pages on any valid HTML/Javascript Event ie: onMouseOver, onMouseOut, onClick, etc.For this demo I will be using six pages with the following code:1. default.htm
<html>
<head><title>Change the URL of a frame using Javascript</title></head>
<frameset rows="20%,*">
<frame name="topFrame" src="contents.htm"><!-- make sure that you remember the name assigned to the frame for use in your code later -->
<frame name="baseFrame" src="body.htm">
</frameset>
<body>
</body>
</html>
2. contents.htm
<html>
<head><title>Table Of Contents</title>
<script>
function changePage(strPage)
{
parent.baseFrame.location.href = strPage; /*This line is the one that changes the baseFrame frame URL. strPage can be substituded with a hardcoded string.*/
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<a href="javascript:void(0);" onClick="changePage('page1.htm')">Page 1</a> <!-- javascript:void(0) tells the browser not to actually change the page in the current browser, but you still want the words to appear as a hyperlink -->
<a href="javascript:void(0);" onClick="changePage('page2.htm')">Page 2</a>
<a href="javascript:void(0);" onClick="changePage('page3.htm')">Page 3</a>
<a href="javascript:void(0);" onClick="changePage('body.htm')">Home</a>
</body>
</html>
3. body.htm
<html>
<head><title>Main Body Page</title></head>
<body>
This is the main body page that first appears.
</body>
</html>
4. page1.htm
<html>
<head><title>Page 1</title></head>
<body>
This is Page 1
</body>
</html>
5. page2.htm
<html>
<head><title>Page 2</title></head>
<body>
And here is page 2
</body>
