    Setting top.someFrame.location...

    Using VS2005, VB.NET and lots of javascript,
    I have a page with (gasp) frames on it. It has two frames a navigation
    pane and a "content" pane. The navigation pane runs a page that has
    lots of javascript in it. One of the scripts controls what is
    dispalyed in the content pane. I am using the following code to
    navigate the content pane to a url:

    top.content.loc ation=targetUrl ;

    This works great most of the time but sometimes I have trouble opening
    pages with relative paths. How can I specify a path (i.e. targetUrl)
    that always point to the same folder in my site?


    PS - Frames: I am stuck with them for now - would love to get rid them
    but I'm not in a position todo so right now - more discussion
    regarding them is moot point regarding this post :)

    Your thoughts appreciated.

      It is a simple html question ...

      In the head of the menu's page (very close to top) :

      <base href="mySite/myFolder/myPages/">

      or if you want to send all pages in the same frame

      <base href="mySite/myFolder/myPages/" target="content ">

      and your menu's links :

      <a href="p1.htm">p age 1</a>



      About your JavaScript :

      <a href="../../aPage.htm"
      onclick="top.co ntent.location= this.href;retur n false;">a page</a>

          Should be

          window.top.fram es["content"].location = targetUrl;

          Parse error.

          You should take heed of the FAQ, especially the part about proper
          posting if you want to have any chance of helpful replies.
