Hi,
I have an html page with 3 frames ie. 1 frame on the left and 2(top and bottom) on the right.
I have 2 buttons on the left frame. Depending on the button clicked, I need to bring up different pages on the top and bottom frames. Right now, I am only able to post to the top frame with

<form method="post" action="pagecm.jsp" target="RIGHTTOP">.

How can I change the contents of the bottom page i.e RIGHTBOTTOM at the same time? Is there any way to post to multiple pages??
Thanks.

Perhaps, You try it:

<form name="frmPost" id="frmPost" method="post" action="pagecm.jsp">
<input name="frRightTop" type="hidden" value="RIGHTTOP"/>
<input name="frRightBottom" type="hidden" value="RIGHTTBOTTOM"/>

<a href="document.getElementById('frmPost').submit();">Post</a>
</form>

And in pagecm.jsp You refresh frames...

Or You can try use 2 forms:

<form name="frmPost" id="frmPost" method="post" action="pagecm.jsp" target="RIGHTTOP">

//form's elements

</form>

<form name="frmPost2" id="frmPost2" method="post" action="pagecm.jsp" target="RIGHTBOTTOM">

//form's elements

</form>

<a href="document.getElementById('frmPost').submit();document.getElementById('frmPost2').submit();">Post</a>

But I'm not sure, that it works...

Hi,
Thanks! The first option is not what I had wanted. The second option didn't work! Any other way of letting more than one page or frame know that I have clicked a button in one of the pages?
This is how I am creating frames.

/******/
<html>
</HEAD>
<FRAMESET COLS="20%,80%">
<FRAME SRC="page1.jsp" SCROLLING=no NAME="LEFT">
<FRAMESET ROWS="11%,89%">
<FRAME SRC="pagetm.jsp" SCROLLING=no NAME="RIGHTTOP">
<FRAME SRC="Home.jsp" NAME="RIGHTBOTTOM">
</FRAMESET>
<NOFRAMES>
<BODY>
Sorry cannot see frames <a href="noframe.htm">
click here for no frame version</a>
</BODY>
</NOFRAMES>
</HTML>
/*****/

I have 2 buttons in 'page1.jsp' . When I click on any button in this page, I want to change the contents of both the RIGHTTOP and RIGHTBOTTOM pages. How do I do that?
Thanks.

I don't know, work it or not, because I'm not work with frames long time, but You can try:

1)
<a href="javascript:;" onclick="document.frames['RIGHTTOP'].location.href = 'OtherPage.html';document.frames['RIGHTBOTTOM'].location.href = 'OtherPageElse.html'">button 1</a>

or:

2)
<a href="javascript:;" onclick="document.frames['RIGHTTOP'].src = 'OtherPage.html';document.frames['RIGHTBOTTOM'].src = 'OtherPageElse.html'">button 1</a>

But I think, that 1) way is better.
