Linking between frames

Today I'm going to start off with pretty much the simplest JavaScript you can get.
If you've visited the Worfolk Developers Library (or are on it now), you will know that each time you click on the library, downloads or code centre tabs on the menu, you are also redirected to the homepages in the main window. Take a look at this source code.
Note: Since this was written we removed the JavaScript from our page so you want find it in the source code anymore.

<a href="javascript:parent.doodle.location.href = 'http://www.whatever.com'">Whatever.com</a>

Fairly simple eh? It is basically a hyperlink between frames but the script we used we removed the actual link so it linked to the page automatically when the page loads. Here’s how it structures.

document.frame.url

And now you know how to link between frames!
