 In this tip we show how to go back and forth in multiple frames, via commands within a designated frame.

Here is an example:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Frame 1</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
Frame 1
<P>
<A HREF="javascript:history.reload()">
   Reload (this frame)</A><BR>
<A HREF="javascript:history.back()">
   Back (this frame)</A><BR>
<A HREF="javascript:history.forward()">
   Forward (this frame)</A><BR>
<A HREF="javascript:parent.frames[2].history.reload()">
   Reload (bottomrow frame)</A><BR>
<A HREF="javascript:parent.frames[2].history.back()">
   Back (bottomrow frame)</A><BR>
<A HREF="javascript:parent.frames[2].history.forward()">
   Forward (bottomrow frame)</A>
</P>
</BODY>
</HTML>

The first three statements operate on Frame 1 itself. They reload the frame and go back and forth through its pages. The last three statements operate similarly on Frame 2, from Frame 1.
