nested frame image rollovers?

[wiklendt]

hey,

what i have is a script that, when i have two frames and i pass my mouse over a text link in one, it causes an image rollover in the other. the specific script i've used is:

-----------------------------------

Like a normal rollover is:

<A href="blabla.html" onMouseover="rolloverimage.src='newimage.gif'" onMouseout="rolloverimage.src='normalimage.gif'">TEXT LINK</A>

So, to do frames is:

<a href="blabla.html" onMouseover="parent.framename.otherframerolloverimage.src='newimage.gif'" onMouseout="parent.framename.otherframerolloverimage.src='normalimage.gif'">TEXT LINK</A>

----------------------------------

however, i've restructuerd my site and now have nested frames, the text link being not of the same parent frameset as the images i want rolling over. can someone suggest simple changes to my existing script to make this work? perhaps something that will also work in NS4+ or NS at all, not just IE?

thanks in advance for any help.

Try replacing the word parent with top.

Anything that you do with frames should work in NS and IE (As long as your code is correct)...

Also, replacing parent with Top as JK suggested should work.. I think

For further clarification - you may want to post your frameset code.. that'll help us help you

the first frame set is this:

---------------------------------

<frameset rows="*,70" frameborder="0" border="0">
<frame src="./room_top.htm" frameborder="0" name="cmain">
<frame src="./room_bar.htm" frameborder="0" scrolling="no">

</frameset>

---------------------------------

room_bar.htm is where the text links are. then, room_top.htm is where i have the next frameset:

---------------------------------

<frameset rows="50,*" frameborder="0" framespacing="0" border="0">
<frameset cols="210,*" frameborder="0" framespacing="0" border="0">
<frame src="./honey.htm" scrolling="no">
<frame src="./room_men.htm" scrolling="no">
</frameset>

<frame src="./room_mid.htm" name="mid">
</frameset>

---------------------------------

where room_mid.htm is where i have my images that i want rolling over. i did get that other frame javascript to work (see my first post), but then i nested the frames...

in case anyone's curious (it won't help the scripting), my page is http://agspage.filetap.com - the frames above have cute little cartoon einsteins (room_mid.htm) in them. room_bar.htm is just the bottom nav bar, while room_top.htm is the next lot of frames, where: honey.htm is the sign "the honey pot"; and room_men.htm is the page that says "the einsteins represent the text links in the bottom frame".

lke i said, looking at my web page isn't going to help with the coding (i can't see how it will, anyway) - but just incase anyone's curious at how it's all laid out.... :-)

by the way, i haven't tried the top.framename. thing yet - too much uni, will try it soon...
