OnMouseOver can you page...

[Jip]

Is there a method of opening a page in a frame using the OnMouseOver command. or any other method.

As I want to display in a info box(a frame) as you go over certain headings a page in that frame with intro info on it and if you click heading you Jump to full info page.

It's easily done. You trigger the event in the same way an image rollover works - you just have an 'onmouseover="dosomethinginjavascript"' in the link.

So for example:

onmouseover="changeFrame('frame1', 'newframe.htm')"

earlier on, between <script> tags you want:

function changeFrame(framename, newurl)
{
top.framename.document.location=newurl;
}

Or something like that. Give it a go, if you have any probs let me know.

Thanx

can't get it to work not to hot on Java
this is what I have got
this is between the head statement

<script language="javascript">
<script>
function changeFrame('test','test1.htm')
{
top.test.document.location=test1.htm;
}
</script>

and this is where I called the function

<a onmouseover="changeFrame('test','test1.htm')"> Motherboard</a>

this was in the body statment

Frame name is test

new url is test 1.htm both on the same directory

thanx hope you can solve my prob

I need to learn Java

<a href="test4.htm" onMouseOver="parent.test.location='cpu.htm'">processor</a>
