Problems to open pages in a certain frame

Hi there,
I played around with the menue and managed to set it up the way I wanted but I have problems to make the pages open in the main frame window. Please have a look at http://www.treblebooster.net/test/index.html
There you can see the menue in the head frame. I want to open all the pages from there in the main frame (called "Haupt") but I can´t make it work. I played around with the "target" attribute but all it is doing is open the pages in a new window or as shown in the example, "overwriting" the head frame. The menue syntax can be seen at http://www.treblebooster.net/test/data.txt

Any ideas to make it work right ?

Thanks in advance and greetings from Germany

Hi Doc,

Took me a bit to figure this out. You're actually using an iframe in the 'kopf' frame of the frameset. I see you have the iframe function on the page, but to open pages in an iframe you need to code for that, not a target= code. So, this aI string
should be coded like this



Hope that helps.

Hi Ruth,

good to see that you are still out here. Thanks for your suggestion, I inserted your code but now the menue opens nothing, maybe there is a typo inside the code ? I uploaded the new code, please click on "Medium Gain Booster" and try to open the "RM Treble Booster" page.

Hope to hear you soon and thanks in advance

Hi Ruth,

I figured it out myself and it works:

I added a "name=xxx" attribute to the IFRAME tag and then you can use that name to target it from the menues "target" parameter, eg:

aI("text=RM Treble-Booster;url=rm.html;target=Haupt;");

Anyway, thanks for your suggestion and take care !

Hi Doc,

I just tried your page and I cannot get any page to load in IE or Firefox.

You're code for the iframe call in the menu_data.js file is incorrect. You're missing a closing bracket for the iframe part of the call.

You need a ) after the fass.html' and before the ; so the code should be

And, on your main kofp.html page you should add a name to the iframe. Can't remember what browser that's for, maybe IE, and it may have been for something else that you needed both id= and name= but it doesn't hurt anything.

The page then loads fine in the iframe in IE, Firefox and Netscape.

Hi Ruth,

I thought it was a typo or so .... it´s not easy to manage all those little ) , ; etc.

But as mentioned in my previous message, I choose a much simpler solution by adding a "name=xxx" attribute to the IFRAME tag and call it with the "target" parameter inside both menues. I have uploaded all things now so that you can see what I mean.

Have a nice weekend
