After further review, I tried this:
<a href=javascript:void(0);
onclick="changetwo('rtop','About_WIWA/About_WIWA_Header.htm',
'rbottom','About_WIWA/About_WIWA_Body.htm');">
but had the same problems. rtop and rbottom are the names I gave to the
header and body frames.
Do I have something wrong in my <SCRIPT> tag?
