targeting a frame using a drop-down

[donovanm]

can i target a frame using this drop down menu??

I've tried adding 'target="framename"' but this doesn't seem to work.

here is the code:

<form style="display:inline">
<select onChange="if(this.selectedIndex!=0) self.location=this.options[this.selectedIndex].value">
<option value="" selected>Jump to Section
<option value="photos_home.html">------2001------</option>
<option value="photos/2001/chall_18.html">Chall's 18th</option>
<option value="photos/2001/ed_party.html">Ed's St P Party</option>
<option value="photos/2001/newyear2001.html">New Year 2001</option>
<option value="photos_home.html">------2000------</option>
<option value="photos/2000/rob_bday.html">Robi's 18th</option>
<option value="photos/2000/squelch_bday.html">Squelchy's</option>

thats because in the javascript it says self.location which means the current frame. I'll try to work this out...

Try this:

<select onChange="if(this.selectedIndex!=0) parent.frames.otherFrame.location=this.options[this.selectedIndex].value">

Where 'otherFrame' is the name of the target frame.
ie. <frame name='otherFrame'>
