Using drop-down menus with frames

Hi,

I'm struggling to create a webpage with 3 frames
(contents, banner and main). In the contents frame I have
drop-down menus with different url's in them. My goal is
to have the url open in the main frame when its selected
from the menu (on change). I've found a script that opens
the url in a new window (javascript:window.open), but is
there a way to modify this to get the popup to open in
the main frame? Or should I go a whole new route?

Any help or advice is appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Alex,

In the window.open script replace the window name parameter with the name of the main frame.
