How to use onClick with an HTML document in the same window? [td bgcolor] [seperate window]
Q: Update: Problem solved by Guy, thanks!
Im working on a site with frames. I have the navigation bar on the left and content on the right. On one of the pages, I use a table when the navigation tool. I want to click on a table cell and have it open the link, but not in a separate window. Here is the code I am currently:
u003ctd bgcolor = “EBEBEB” onMouseOver = “bgcolor =” FFCCCC “Lost =” bgcolor = “EBEBEB” onClick = “window.open (. / Files / test.html” ) “u003e
So, this cell has a mouseover color effect, then when you click, open the” test.html “in a separate window. I want the link in the same window. I tried using this:
onClick = open (./ files / test.html ); “u003e
but that did not work. What is the code for the link open in same window? TIA!

did you try : location.href = '../files/test.html' ?

I don't use JS much, but what if you use the name of the frame instead of "parent"?
Just tried it, no dice. Thanks for the idea though! I'm not much of a Javascript guy either, so we're both in the same boat lol.

Re:Hmm, I've made *some* progress:
onClick="parent.location='../files/test.html'"
This opens the linked "test.html" file in the same window, but kills the navigational frame. Argg!
