Hi All,
my requirement is when i click a link on the top frame, a jsp must be loaded on the left pane and another different jsp has to be loaded on the right pane for the same event.

is this possible? Please suggest how to do it?
with regards,
Arjun.

Hi,

You'd need to have the hyperlink point to a JavaScript snippet that sets the src attyributye of each frame, I guess.

Better yet, don't use frames. Load the content into DOM elements within your page using Ajax. Libraries like Prototype or jkQuery make this very easy to do.

Prototype's Ajax.Updater documented here:

jQuery's load() method here:
