Multiple links, loads and actions across frames?

[deanh]

Hi, my first post here - been ages trying to figure this:

To help explain what I'm trying to do, let's call the frames, in my frameset, as follows...

Navigation Frame = top Frame of frameset.

Header.gif = gif file placed in a table cell in top frame (currently says "General Information".

Info Frame = middle-left frame of frameset.

Ear Frame = middle-right frame of frameset.

Ear.gif = the image that appears in the Ear Frame and has 2 rollover states.

Footer Frame = bottom frame of frameset.


Each of the 10 links in the 'Navigation Frame', have to load a new html document into the 'Info Frame' when they are pressed. They also have to change the 'Header.gif' (in the 'Navigation Frame) to a new gif that is relevant to the link clicked! At the same time, the 'Ear.gif' which has an UP and OVER rollover state, and is in the 'Ear Frame' has to change to the represent the new section.

So how can I get the buttons/links in the Naviagation frame to control content in other frames, be it a whole html doc, an image or an image with rollover states, while also changing images in table cells within the same frame, and the intial link/button also having rollover states of it's own?

the page as it stands at the moment can be seen at:

if it helps.
