No gaurantee's, but try:
function changePages('guestbooknav.html','guestbook.html') {
or
function changePages("guestbooknav.html","guestbook.html") {
Actually, looking at your code, I don't see why you can't just use:
> function changePages() {
since the values used in the ()'s don't appear to be being used later
(actually, the value equivalents are used, but they're hard coded). Maybe
you've omitted parts of the script here?
A more likely way for this code to work would be something like:
function changePages(frame1,frame2) {
parent.navbar.location.href=frame1;
parent.main.location.href=frame2;
where the values for frame1 and frame2 come are passed to the function, from
a mouseover maybe:
onMouseOver="changePages('guestbooknav.html', 'guestbook.html')"
The two values between the ()'s in the changesPages function call (above)
are "inserted" into the function changePages as frame1 and frame2.
I'm not versed in javascript and it's syntax, but that's my 2c.
