    Calling function from within function display

    I have a function that displays a list extracted from a table using
    document.write. In the displayed list I want to have a link that will
    call the same function but display the list in reverse.

    Click HERE to reverse
    A
    B
    C

    When HERE is clicked the page will redisplay as

    Click HERE to reverse
    C
    B
    A

    One of the function's parameters will tell it the sequence to display.
    My question is what is the best way to code the link? Clicking on HERE
    will call a function.

    I've tried <a href="javascrip t: xxx(xxx)">HERE</a> but it doesn't work.

      I have found what I think is the problem and I need to know if there is
      a solution. The generated page is in an iFrame. Can a link in an iFrame
      call a function in the parent page?

      The page http://www.dcs-chico.com/~denmarks/amtrak.html will show the
      structure of the page but the new code is not there yet. The link will
      appear above the stations displayed in the right iFrame and will cause
      them to be redisplayed in reverse.

          Yes of course a child frame can call a method in its parent or even in a
          sibling frame. Just reference the window name that contains the desired
          method.

          In your case your call would simply be:

          parent.xxx();

          regards

              Besides of the iFrame issue, please read the FAQ about `javascript:'
              URIs and <3FDBC2B2.10209 08@PointedEars. de> about "doesn't work".
