Just add two getURLS that change the content of each iframe.

[AS]on (release){  
getURL(“content1.html”, “iframeName1”);  
getURL(“content2.html”, “iframeName2”);  
}[/AS]

Ah, I got to this thread through the new posts area, so I didn’t notice the section it was in.

In that case… You could probably set up a javascript function.

Alright I came up with a Javascript way…

Insert this code in between your \<HEAD\>\</HEAD\> tags of your HTML file.

```php
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--
function changeBoth(win1Loc, win2Loc){
document.all.window1.src = win1Loc;
document.all.window2.src = win2Loc;
}
-->
</SCRIPT>

```

Now you can call the function like this…

```php
<A HREF="JavaScript:void(0);" onClick="JavaScript:changeBoth('win1NewFile.html', 'win2NewFile.html')">Change Both</A>

```

[EDIT]WHY DOES IT KEEP CHANGING JAVASCRIPT TO ABOUT?!?!?!?!?![/EDIT]

Ok Ok, OF COURSE there has to be Netscape complications :sure:

I fixed that though. Since iframes are only supported by Netscape 6+ I went through the liberty of only browser checking for IE or NS6+, then calling different scripts.

```php
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--
function changeBoth(win1Loc, win2Loc){
var IE = document.all;
var NS = !document.all && document.getElementById;
if (IE) {
  document.all.window1.src = win1Loc;
  document.all.window2.src = win2Loc;
} else if (NS) {
  frames['window1'].location.href = win1Loc;
  frames['window2'].location.href = win2Loc;
}

}
-->
</SCRIPT>

```

That is the new script.

And Oh yeah, I forgot. This script assumes your Iframe names are window1 and window2.

This script SHOULD work in IE4+ and NS6+, but I never guarantee anything 😉

Well, if you indeed did mean in Flash as my first post… then oh well, maybe this will help someone else out 😛

That’s exactly why I HATE using JavaScript, essentially you have to code everything twice. 😠

Yeah, but it is the price to pay to be a scripter. I like what I do, even though I sometimes have to code for both browsers seperately. 😛
