Example 15.3:
Referring to Frames
Note that we had to change the script in this example. Originally we used a function named reset(), but as reset is a reserved word in JavaScript 1.2 this script won't work in Netscape Navigator 4. Therefore we renamed the function to resetColors(). Click on the buttons to change the colors:
These are the scripts we used. First, this in the HEAD:
<![CDATA[
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JAVASCRIPT">
<!--
function resetColors() {
window.document.bgColor="white"
top.frames[1].document.bgColor="white"
top.frames[2].document.bgColor="white"
top.frames[3].document.bgColor="white"
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>
]]>
Then these buttons:
<![CDATA[
<FORM>
<INPUT TYPE="button" VALUE="Change first frame to Orange" onclick="parent.frames[0].document.bgColor='orange'"><P>
<INPUT TYPE="button" VALUE="Change frame2 to Red" onclick="parent.frames[1].document.bgColor='red'"><P>
<INPUT TYPE="button" VALUE="Change frame3 to Green" onclick="parent.frame3.document.bgColor='green'"><P>
<INPUT TYPE="button" VALUE="Change frame4 to Blue" onclick="top.frames[3].document.bgColor='blue'"><P>
<INPUT TYPE="button" VALUE="Reset Colors" onclick="resetColors()">
</FORM>
]]>
