I am learning JS and still a cut N past scripter. Can anyone help tell me why the script below will not work, OR suggest something better.
What I want to accomplish is to link to hundreds of pages in my site but have different navigation menus in the branding frame. I think this script is what I need but I cannot get it to work.
Thanks for any help.

1. Create a new HTML page, name it dynamic-frameset.html
2. Insert this first script into the HEAD of the frameset page
3. Add the last code into the BODY of your HTML document
4. Then link to your dynamic-frameset.html page as demonstrated -->
<!-- STEP ONE: Create a new HTML page, save as dynamic-frameset.html -->
<!-- STEP TWO: Paste this code into the HEAD of your HTML document -->
<HEAD>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

<!-- Begin
var table_of_contents = "http://javascript.internet.com/new/"; // change to your default frame page
var blank = " "; // blank page
var content = (location.search) ? location.search.substring(1, location.search.length) : table_of_contents;
// if query string ('?' after URL) set content variable to what follows the '?'
// otherwise, start fresh by setting content variable to table_of_contents page
function fillFrame() {
parent.main.location.href = content;
}
// End -->

<!-- STEP THREE: Copy this code into the BODY of your HTML document -->
