That's a proof of concept. A generic location chop is needed, as noted.

Sounds like it's time I learn more about Javascript. ----- Original Message ----- From: Oleg Kobchenko <[email protected]> Date: Friday, December 18, 2009 12:07 Subject: Re: [Jchat] HTML -- anchors and frames To: Chat forum <[email protected]> From: Roger Hui <[email protected]> Does anyone know how to specify as an URL a jump to a particular anchor in an HTML page which uses frames, or know definitively that it can not be done? For example, the anchor for the References section in "The Evolution of APL" is "ref". If that page did not use frame, I could say: http://www.jsoftware.com/papers/APLEvol.htm#ref But that page does use frames, so how do I do it? Or is it not possible? 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
