It's javascript-only. You need to append the hash part of Frameset URL to src of the target frame. As an example, use this URL: http://www.w3schools.com/html/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_frame_jump and paste the code below and click [Edit and Click Me] ============================================================================ <html> <script> function jump() { var f = document.getElementById("main"); f.src += "#ref"; // chop up document.location instead } </script> <frameset cols="20%,80%" onload="jump()"> <frame id=left name=left src="http://www.jsoftware.com/papers/APLEvolTOC.htm";> <frame id=main name=main src="http://www.jsoftware.com/papers/APLEvol1.htm";> </frameset> </html> ============================================================================ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
