hi jonahzona, thanks for your help but i cannot seems to get the syntax right. i had tried almost everything:

//document.getElementById('I2').setAttribute('src','www.google.ca');
//val = "document.all("www.google.ca").value;";
//document.all.I2.src=val;
//var myFrame = document.getElementById('I2');
//myFrame.src = "http://www.yahoo.com";
//window.frames.I2.location="http://www.yahoo.com";
//document.write("http://server/cgi-bin/calendar.pl?target=calendarContainer&...'><\/script>");

where I2 is the name of my second frame and i am trying to send a link from frame I1
