onload changing class in other frame

jet · October 15th, 2004, 04:45 AM

Hi,

I have 2 frames, framemain and frameright.
Clicking on the link <a href="lap003.htm" target="framemain"><span id="p003" name="p003" class="looknormal"> 3</span></a> in main changes the content of frameright.
Onload of the new right page I want to change the style of 'p003' in main page.

I can do it this way:
<body onload="javascript:parent.document.getElementById( 'p003').style.background='url(arrowon.gif)';javasc ript:parent.document.getElementById('p003').style. fontWeight='bold';javascript:parent.document.getEl ementById('p003').style.color='white';">

and there I used also the onunload="" to reverse the style. It works, but it means a lot of code having over 100 pages.

Change classes form "looknormal" to "looknew" during onLoad would be better, but I didn't succes.

Can someone help me with this?
thanks, Jet

Code:

parent.document.getElementById('p003').className = "looknew";

Thanks Joe,

My first reaction: I tried this before and it didn't work even after checking the syntax over and over. But nevertheless I tried again, more confident about this part of the code now, and gggrrrrr, it was something else that let the onload faile before.

thanks for making me try again :-)
