If I understand you correctly, this is simply the way frames work: changing the URL of any frame doesn't reflect in the URL bar or page title. The actual page, according to the browser is still original page containing the frameset.

It's these kinds of issues that caused frames to fall out of favor and be obsoleted in html5.

Is your question/issue that you want the window title to change when a user clicks a link?
If so, add some javascript to each "centerframe page" such as:

Code:

window.parent.document.title = "Your new title";
