do you have any code as of right now for this? If not, you'll need to name the frames and then use some sort of javascript command to switch the content of the 1 frame by clicking in the other. This can be done by something similar to:

Pseudo-code:
parent.document.object.style='something';

depending on which direction your traveling with the content. Iframes are the most common these days, so I would assume your going from the parent to a child, in which case:

PseudoCode:
framename.document.object.style.value='something';

If you could maybe share a link to the current page your working on or some of the code I could possibly provide some real code to solve this.

Hi thank u .....
here is the code....

the main frame is

<html>
<frameset cols="30%,*">
<frame name="one" src="one.jsp" target="two">
<frame name="two" src="two.jsp">
</frameset>
</html>


first frame is:

<html>
<body>
<form name="frm" action="two.jsp">
<select name="slt" onChange="frm.submit()">
<option value="one" target="two">one
<option value="two">two
</select>
</form>
</body>
</html>


the second frame name is two.html.... i want to display the value in two.html when i select any value from the above html file which contains the select box...

So you want the form to submit to the frame with two.html in it?

you appears to have 2 frames side by side... i'm not sure how you can make these frames talk to each other since they are only connected by their parent. This would be a matter of doing something like:

pseudo code:

parent.document.frame2.objectID.value='somevalue';

also, why are you using jsp for this? if your using jsp i'd suggest just using a post method or something and having a cookie carry the values around?
