It's been a while since I've been caught up with the latest html and javascript tricks. I'm designing a site, and I want to be able to modify the page being displayed in two different frames at the same time. i.e

help.gif


user clicks on a link in frame 3, I want a page to open in frame 3, and frame 2's page to change. Once the person navigates away from the destination of frame 3, frame 2 goes back to its original source. Get it? If you can either give me a site with the info to do it or if yuo know how to do it yourself that would be great. Thanks in advance.

To be extra fancy, and to revert to the original page in frame two, irrespective of the destination of frame three, you could add an 'onUnload' declaration to the body I think....

Code:
<body onUnload="parent.frame2.src='page.html';" >
