Hi!

Wonder if someone can help.

I donate my services to a non-profit organization. One of my tasks is to maintain their WEB Site.

Their WEB Site is comprised of frames.

I want to run a script that appears over all (5) frames.

I've tried to use the ONLINE function in the FRAMESET Tag but it doesn't work.

Got any sugestions?

Thanks

Save your script in a .js file then call it in each frames like this
<script src="blah.js">
</script>

Josh,

Since the Page contains 5 frames, wouldn't that start 5 scripts in each of the frames?

I want to run 1 script that appears over the entire Page.

fyi
The script displays floating ghosts over the Page for Halloween.

Thanks again!

I understand you now.but I guess it's not possible.besides frame isn't very good.

Thanks Josh.

People either love or hate Frames.

I guess I can convert the page to Tables.

Thanks again.

I wouldn't recommend using tables either. Tables are not for design.

So what's your suggestion?

Anyway, you can use a JS in the main page (the one that contains the frameset) that will apply changes to frames using javascript.frames.framename....

Boris,

The JS I'm trying to run is floating ghosts for Halloween.
I want them to hover over all frames (5) on the Page.

The ONLOAD="JSFX_StartEffects()" works in BODY Tags but doesn't in the FRAMESET Tag.

Got any suggestions?

Thanks

I would suggest learning CSS.
