I have 2 files and would like to combine them. I'm not good with frames and tired of trial and error. Trial and error is how I got the rest of this project to work.

The file I load in my browser is:

<br />
<html><br />
<br />
<frameset rows="125px,*"><br />
<br />
<!-- change the source to the file location --><br />
<frame src="file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/ajester/My%20Documents/programming/frames/formDigits.htm"><br />
<br />
<frame src="http://www.google.com/search" name="showframe"><br />
</frameset><br />
<br />
</html><br />
<br />

The file it loads is:

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript" src="ee.js"></script>

<script Language="Javascript">

function BuildURL(){
//var  MyURLField = new String();
var	MyURLField = '<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/';
	MyURLField = MyURLField.concat(document.getElementById('myText').value);
	MyURLField = MyURLField.concat('" target="showframe">Wiki</a>');
	document.getElementById('span1').innerHTML = MyURLField;
	//alert("build: " +  MyURLField);  //debug
	
var	MyGoogleURL = '<a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=';
	MyGoogleURL = MyGoogleURL.concat(document.getElementById('myText').value);
	MyGoogleURL = MyGoogleURL.concat('" target="showframe">Google&apos;s</a>');
	document.getElementById('spanG').innerHTML = MyGoogleURL;
}
</script>

</head>

<body class="thebody">
<span align="center"><form name= getData>
Enter Search String: 
<input type='text' id='myText' onkeyup='BuildURL()'/>
</form></span>

<span id="spanG"><a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=junk" target="showframe">google&apos;s</a> </span>
<span id="span1"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test" target="showframe">Wiki</a></span>
 <a href="http://etc.com" target="showframe">etc</a>
<a href="http://etc.com" target="showframe">etc</a><br/>

</body>
</html>

Thanks in advance!

Thanks Rod!

Is there something else in HTML I can use instead of frameset that would give me the same effect? I'll probably be running the final version from a network share not a web server hence the file:/// URL.

I brought the code to work and placed on a network share and can really see the differences between IE7 and FF3.5. :omg:

Try an IFRAME, this example[^] would appear to show what you are trying to achieve.

You can't combine a frameset file with the content file.

One thing though if the frameset file is in the same directory as the content file you could use;

<html>
<frameset rows="125px,*">
<frame src="formDigits.htm">
<frame src="http://www.google.com/search" name="showframe"> </frameset>
</html>
