how do I call two links in one click?

my website has 2 frames that have to change all the time(main content, and news), so sometimes when I click on one link(from navigation), I want it to call two links for me(one of them changes main content, and one of them changes news).

for exampe, how to I call two links from below in one click?
<a href="index.php?news=hi">Hi</a>
<a href="index.php?news=hello">Hello</a>

I tried something like this but it doesn't work :
<a href="index.php?news=hi" AND "index.php?news=hello">Hi and Hello</a>

I also notice there is a way to use "Onclick" function to solve the similar problem, but it does not fit in my code.

Please, help me if u know the answer.
thank you

 

Bad solution

Try <a href="index.php?news=hi" onclick="window.open('index.php?news=hello')">Hi and hello</a>

P.S. Some browsers and security plugins block window.open method.


P.S.S. Another solution - create hdden form with target=_blank

<form id='my_hidden_form' method='get' action='index.php?news=hello' target=_blank>
</form>

and do onclick="document.getElementById('my_hidden_form').submit()"

getElementById doesn't work in some browsers

 

I am sorry that i did not make my question clear.

I am not opening any new page. Two links below are just opening two different sections in a page.
<a href="index.php?content=hi">Hi</a>
<a href="index.php?news=hello">Hello</a>

again, how would I do that?

thanks for replying

 

If you use <frame> you can try attribute target='your_frame_name' in <a> and <form>

 

what if my frame is divided using tables? not <frame>
does that mean i have to rebuild my web page?

 

Just add a second parameter to the link. link=1&amp;link2=3

Simples.

 

Maybe jQuery (JavaScript framework) can help you. After click you should send 2 AJAX requests and after that rebuild your web page (via jQuery, without reload).

 

i wish it works but it doesn't
<a href="index.php?content=a";"index.php?news=b">click</a>

 

You need to add into the PHP so it can take the second parameter, HTML will not get this done. As I said just add a second parameter to the link.

 

can you give me a more specific example about how to add a second parameter?
I searched everywhere and still can't find a solution.

it is still reading the first link; not the second link
this is my code:
<?php
echo"<a href='index.php?content=a';'index.php?news=b'>click</a>";
?>

 

This shouldn't make it?

 

amaroks, this code will trigger another screen to open, and i don't want that.
two links of mine should open two sections in my window.

 

Two simpler methods:

1. use javascript.

or

2. if using frameset, eg top frame & menu frame
then change two html pages (page1.html & banner.html) at same time with one user click.
Note the frames[] container.

<li><a href="http://www.yoursite.com/page1.html" onclick="top.frames[1].location.href='banner.html'" target="mainFrame">page1</a></li>
