Passing Javascript variable to '<a href' with 'window.location.href' in a frame

As the title indicate I would like to pass a variable with javascript but in a frame In the past I have this code :

  <a href="page.php" target="frame" onClick="$('#frame').show()">

Now I want to pass a variable, the code below can pass the variable but in another window but I want it in the same frame.

 <a href="page.php" target="frame" onClick="location.href=this.href+'?var='+X;">

I think you maybe able to use:

document.getElementById('frame').contentWindow.location.href...

to change the href of the frame (and pass your variable), but I'm pretty sure it will require a refresh if you're using a query string.

Perhaps if you append a hash (#var=something) instead of a query string that will work without the refresh?

Note that this probably won't work at all if you're doing your frame stuff across domains.
