Whole Cell Linked To Main Frame

[charlie2163]

I finally figured out how to get a whole cell to become a link, but cannot seem to figure out how to make the link to a different frame. This is the code that currently works but only links to the same frame:

<tr bgcolor="" onmouseover="this.style.backgroundColor='#0099FF'" onMouseOut="this.style.backgroundColor=''" onClick="document.location.href='/home.html' target="mainFrame";" style="cursor:pointer;cursor:hand">

Thanks in advance, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Doing it that way, you will need to replace "document" with the name of your frame. For instance, if your frame is named "myframe", you would use "myframe.location.href" instead of "document.location.href" (it's possible you might have to use myframe.document.location.href - I can't remember for sure, anymore).

I tried both ways and nither are working.

 <tr bgcolor="" onmouseover="this.style.backgroundColor='#0099FF'" onMouseOut="this.style.backgroundColor=''" onClick="mainFrame.location.href='home.html'";" style="cursor:pointer;cursor:hand">

<tr bgcolor="" onmouseover="this.style.backgroundColor='#0099FF'" onMouseOut="this.style.backgroundColor=''" onClick="mainFrame.document.location.href='home.html'";" style="cursor:pointer;cursor:hand">

Testing site in IE7 it is giving me a scripting error saying mainFrame is undefined.


Thanks for fast reply, by the way.

You've got an extra double-quote mark and a semi-colon where they don't belong in your code. I think that's the only thing stopping it from working.

Following is some tested, working code to show you an example:

<table width="200" border="1">
  <tr onclick="myframe.location.href='http://www.google.com/'">
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
  </tr>
</table>
