 Hi All,
Currently i am working in a framed environment where i have
divided the window as 20% and 80% and the 20% is used for navigation
purpose and right frame for displaying the orignal content. Now i want
to Disable ad Enable the menu items which are placed in the left frame
for navigation purpose.

Can any of you input me with any idea as how to proceed? If you
need any other information then please let me know.

Thanks!

There is two possible ways to do it.
First way is to use javascript and it is relatively simple. You define
javascript function to control menu item status and call it as onload() at all
right pages with 2 parameters - item id and needed state. For example
<body onload="setmenu('first','disable')">
This way you can use for static html pages.

Second way is to use scripts (Perl CGI or PHP) to generate frameset and left
page. In this case you must use links to frameset with parameters and this
script (for generating frameset) pass paramaters to other script for
generating left menu. This way is relatively more complex but work even if
user have javascript disabled.

If doing it this way then dispense with frames all together!

Yes, I know it, but original question was be about "How to do for frames" ;-)

If you asked how you could shoot yourself in the foot, don't you think
we'd rather talk you out of it than provide step-by-step instructions?
