javascript refer to outside a frame by Jarrod on 07-26-2007 at 09:25 AM

so I have this

code:
<html>
yatta yatta yatta...

<iframe src ="frontpage.html" width="100%" height="100%" allowtransparency="true" frameborder="0" id="estate"></iframe>

then in frontpage.html(the framed page)
I have

code:
<a href="javascript:" onclick="window.getElementById('estate').src='bio.html'">Bio</a>

where I have window(underlined) I tried document but I know that's not quite right trying to change the content interfame like that so how do I do it?

RE: javascript refer to outside a frame by ShawnZ on 07-26-2007 at 09:27 AM

why not just... href="bio.html"?

RE: javascript refer to outside a frame by Jarrod on 07-26-2007 at 09:30 AM

because i don't want the whole web page to reload when i only need some text in a frame

because obviously, links inside of an iframe apply to the external page, thats not a security risk at all 8-)
