Changing Multiple Frames in One Step

[Previous] [Main] [Next]

	Normally, a hyperlink can update the content of a single frame using htmlHyperLink::Target(). However, it is possible to create a link that updates multiple frames at one time by using the ONCLICK attribute of a hyperlink to invoke JavaScript code that changes the source (location) of the frames.

	//  Create a string containing the JavaScript code
	String  javascript ;
	javascript << "top.frames[2].location='frform1.htm';"
	"return true;" ;
	//  Create a hyperlink object, setting it's targer
	//  window and the JavaScript ONCLICK attribute to
	//  our code.
	htmlHyperLink h( "formtoc.htm", "Click here" ) ;
	h.Target( "toptoc" )
	.SetAttribute( "onClick", javascript ) ;

	<A HREF="formtoc.htm" TARGET="toptoc" onClick="top.frames[2].location='frform1.htm';return true;">Click here</A>
