Is it possible to redirect to a new page in another frame? With straight up HTML tags it's easy:

Code:
<a href="index.html" target="frm_main">title here</a>


However I need to use Javascript to have this same effect because I'm building a query string on an asp file (ie default.asp?id=1) with Javascript and then want to send it along without making a link which I prompt the user to click. lol

I forgot to mention that I need to redirect into an iframe.

Javascript is pretty straightforward as well.

Code:

top.frames['myframe'].location.href = 'index.htm';


What I would do is something like this

Code:

<head>

<script type="text/javascript">
function open_in_frame(FrameName, FrameURL)
{
top.frames[FrameName].location.href = FrameURL;
}
</script>

</head>



That way you can use it many times without having to change any code.

Ok the solution to this one is so easy it actually makes me embarrassed lol. The key is to treat the iframe like any other object on the page and just use:

Code:
document.getElementById('frm_main').src = "test.asp";
