well from my first post you get the layout of the frames
i am using this script from the nav frame

funcition home()
{
parent.loc.location="location.htm"
parent.main.location="main.htm"
}

"loc" being on frame
"main" being the other

this us used for each of the buttons with the "home()" part changed and the location=" part changed
this is all located in a external ".js" file
linked into the html the file is http://redrival.com/jls/school/nav/nav.js
i also want to use the same file in the loc frame later on so the extrnal file is important.
I am only new to javascript, it it somthing rong with the frame names i am using of somthing else i dont know

Please help

Josh

the errors might be associated with the fact that you have a target in those two HREF's. They wouldn't need a target. Also, I wouldn't use "location" as the name of your frame, but it still should work. Anyway, I put all the script in the main page and did away with your functions b/c I put them in the HREF's.
