Every frame is considered to be a window object. So you can change the frames contents using all of the window objects functions.

Now all the frames in a window are considered to be in a collection array.

Say you have three frames fr1,fr2,fr3 .

You can access them using the following code

parent.frames["fr1"]
parent.frames["fr2"]
parent.frames["fr3"]

or as:

parent.frames[0]
parent.frames[1]
parent.frames[2]

So if you want to change multiple frames, then in the onClick of a button call a JavaScript function (eg - test()) and change the frames as shown

<script language=test()>
function test() {
parent.frames["fr1"].location = "1.html";
parent.frames["fr2"].location = "1.html";
parent.frames["fr3"].location = "1.html";
}
</script>

or as:

<script language=test()>
function test() {
parent.frames[0].location = "1.html";
parent.frames[1].location = "1.html";
parent.frames[2].location = "1.html";
}
</script>
