Can't reference frame name when swapping image source?

A

awesterink

I have 3 frames:
- mymenu
- mytitle
- mypage

In the 'mymenu' frame I can use an onclick function to change the source of
an image within that frame, for example, these all work:

<a href="clicked.htm" onclick="button.src='clicked.jpg';"><img name="button"
src="clickhere.jpg"></a>
<a href="clicked.htm" onclick="document.button.src='clicked.jpg';"><img
name="button" src="clickhere.jpg"></a>
<a href="clicked.htm" onclick="images['button'].src='clicked.jpg';"><img
name="button" src="clickhere.jpg"></a>
<a href="clicked.htm"
onclick="document.images['button'].src='clicked.jpg';"><img name="button"
src="clickhere.jpg"></a>


But if I try any of the following code to update an image in a specific
frame, it does not work:

<a href="clicked.htm" onclick="mymenu.button.src='clicked.jpg';"><img
name="button" src="clickhere.jpg"></a>
<a href="clicked.htm"
onclick="parent.frames['mymenu'].button.src='clicked.jpg';"><img
name="button" src="clickhere.jpg"></a>

What am I missing here?

Hi Awesterink,

Ooops, sorry I had left off the document object in my original response.

It should be

parent.frames['main'].document.images['myimage'].src='newimage.gig';
