Hey all,
I have several unordered lists of links. I'd like to place one link above each list that would basically open all the links in THAT list one by one. How can I put this in a js function, so it's portable enough to be able to apply it to any unordered list on my site?
Thanks!

Where do you want the links opened? I'm thinking in frames or in iframes would be best. What did you have in mind?

yeah, iFrames seemed to me the easiest way.

A bare bones approach:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<style type="text/css">
.dframe {
width:500px;
height:400px;
margin:20px 20px 0 0;
}
</style>
<script type="text/javascript">
onload=function(){
var c=0, ilists=[];
var lists=document.getElementsByTagName('ul');
for (var i_tem = 0; i_tem < lists.length; i_tem++)
if ( lists[i_tem].className=='inframe' )
ilists[c++]=lists[i_tem];
for (i_tem = 0; i_tem < ilists.length; i_tem++)
for (var j_tem = 0; j_tem < ilists[i_tem].getElementsByTagName('li').length; j_tem++)
if (ilists[i_tem].getElementsByTagName('li')[j_tem].getElementsByTagName('a')[0]){
var lframe=document.createElement('iframe');
lframe.className='dframe';
lframe.src=ilists[i_tem].getElementsByTagName('li')[j_tem].getElementsByTagName('a')[0].href
document.body.appendChild(lframe);
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<ul class="inframe">
<li><a href="http://www.dynamicdrive.com/">dynamic drive</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.google.com/">google</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.codingforums.com/">coding forums</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.yahoo.com/">yahoo</a></li>
<li>no link</li>
</ul>
</body>

If a division is made or is available, the iframes could be made to appear in it, other things could be done but, this is basic code for doing this.
