Loading two frames in one link.
I am working on a page which is divided into two frames. On the left is a menu frame and on the right is the content. I have multiple sections to the site and had to break it up into sub-sections. I have done this by creating multiple menu pages. There is a main menu which links to the sub-menus. The sub-menus link to the content pages.
Here is my problem. When I want to load a content page from a different menu, I want to load the menu frame that goes with it as well. This would mean that one link would actually link to two pages (one for the content page and one for the menu page). Is there a way to do this? If so, how?

Correction I meant <A href= on both not img src.
A href='javascript:;' onClick='top.menuframe.loc
... where your frames are named "menuframe" and "mainframe"
... where your frames are named "menuframe" and "mainframe"
oops, left out the "<" above:
<A href= ...
<A href= ...
Try it with the easy way:
First, create your TARGET page, which is created with 2 frames: MENU and CONTENT.
Then just link your "DIFFERENT MENU" page to your TARGET page, and here you go ! It works just fine, I'm sure !

avtonet, I had already thought of this method, but would be forced to make a lot of little target pages which would cause the administration of the site to get out of hand. Thanks for the thought though!
andriv, your idea was the first thing I tried. Unfortunately, it does not work.
knightEknight, Your solution worked perfectly! Please post it as an answer so I can give you the points! Thanks!

You can either try what knightEknight has suggested or instead of trying to load 2 pages, you can just load a single page, containing 2 frames (menu and content) in the parent window. I feel this should be handled by some script.
