Is it possible to open two frames with one URL?

...consider a framed set of windows. Menu items replace the content frame
preserving the menu frame. Easy peasy.

One menu item would ideally replace the content frame AND the menu frame
as well, to allow access to a new set of menus,.

Can you have a URL with two targets? or is it down to a javascript
onclick() handler to replace two windows using a hand crafted function?

No, but a URL can point to an entirely new frameset, target="top",
specifying a new "menu" and a new "content".

Not a javascript problem.

If you have server side processing, that is the best solution. You could
have each link point to the frameset and have two parameters. The menu
page and the content page file names. Then the server can return the
appropriate source for the frameset.

You can do 100 in a function if you wanted. The limit would be when you
crashed the system from too many open windows. The error message I got
from IE7 when opening 100 new windows was:

Not enough storage is available to complete this operation

window.open won't help you with frames though.
