Drop Down List Action

[pfldparkdistrict]

I have a frameset website. The frameset is has nested left, right and top
frames. I want to add a drop down menu in my top frame to open a page in my
main frame, but i can only get the pages to appear in the top frame where the
drop down menu is situated.

How can i get it to open in the main frame?

Thanks in advance.

I assume you're using JavaScript? If so, you need to specify the frame in
which the URL should be loaded. Example:

<select name="mySelect" size="1" onchange="window.parent.frameName.location
=this.options[this.selectedIndex].value">
<option>Pick One</option>
<option
value="http://www.takempis.com/default.asp">TAKempis.com</option>
</select>

Is there a way to do this without using Javascript? I was under the
assumption that I would need to, but I would rather not have to. . .

You have to use JavaScript to use a drop down menu for hyperlinks
