Applets, URLs, and frames

Question:
I want my Web page to have three frames: one for my applet and the other two for information. How can I make it so my applet updates both frames?

Answer:
To update a specific frame, you must first give the frame a name within your HTML markup. When you call showDocument() from your applet, use the method with a signature ofvoid showDocument(URL url, String target). The target argument should be the name of the frame you want to be updated with the new URL.
