frames question??

[metny6]

Hi and thank you in advance in helping me with my brainlock!

I'm starting a website that uses frames and was wondering if anyone could tell me how to make the interior pages of a website only load when the other frames load for navigation??

Like for instance, say someone finds a page at a search engine for you site and they click on that link, how do you make that page only load with the other frames around it, and not as a stand alone page??

How do you get a framed website to do that??

Thanx alot!

if you mean that you do not want an individual frame to be loaded by typing the address in the addressbar,put this code in the script tags
at very top

if(self.location==top.location){
self.location="index.html";
}

presuming your frames site has an index page thats actually a aframeset page.

} That has the unfortunate side effect of disabling the user's back button. Your users will prefer that you use:

if (self.location == top.location) self.location.replace('index.html')

How in the heck you know what my users would prefer?

Yes, it's quite clear from the examples that you keep promoting from your own web site (spamming I believe it's called) that you believe that users would prefer a web site that doesn't work. And I suppose some do enjoy a good laugh at the web author's expense but note that I didn't say that all users would prefer the method that didn't break their browsers.
