links in same window???

[webhead1]

Hello everyone. am trying to have a linking effect like the following:

www.westcoastchoppers.com

click on bikes

theres a small frame to right, and when you click on link in that right frame window, the pic changes in left larger frame. and yopu can click arrow below to see more pics of same bike. Id like that same type of setup for what Im going to be doing.

When I try to insert frame, it inserts either whole side, top or bottom, not inside table. Any help please. THanks very much.

Its been awhile since I played with frames...but I think this is what you need...something like this:

<a href="bikes/camel_2_el_diablo/a.html" target="left">link</a>
or
<a href="bikes/camel_2_el_diablo/a.html" target="content">link</a>

When in one frame and you want to change the image in another frame via a link:

1) You must name the image in the img tag

2) The JS then looks like this

parent.framename.imagename.src="whatever.jpg"

Where framename is the name of the frame that contains the image and imagename is the name of the image.

Logically - look up to the parent, then down to the other frame, then down to the image, then change the image source.

If you want to change the image source in the same frame you are in, or you don't use frames:

document.imagename.src="image.jpg"

And FYI, you can also change the dimensions with:

document.imagename.width=
document.imagename.height=

in case all the images are not the same size.

berkswebguy has it right - you use the target attribute. Dreamweaver has a target pulldown in the link property window for this and does a pretty nice job of managing frames.

And not do the coding yourself?

Oh yea . . . this is in the Dreamweaver forum. Well . . . in case you want to know how it really works . . . read my above posts . . . then go ahead and do the Dreamweaver thing. I must confess I have never used it.
