Breakin' Frames

[waidc]

Hi all, I have a website based on three frames (banner, contents, and main). For most pages on the site there is a separate contents and main for them, but a few only have a main.

What i'd like to do is for the pages without a contents to take up the space in both frames (contents and main) while still retaining the top, banner, frame.

I haven't explained this very well, but the long and short of it is, i want pages to be able to break out of frames, but not in the conventional sense where they break all the frames - just two out of the three.

many thanks...

I must confess, I'm way to tired to think. It's 3:53AM

Now... if I'm right without thinking (and I doubt that), your answer is as follows. Where <framename> is the name of the frame you want to use.

I hope this is useful. Slight correction may be required. Coffee ceases to work after 2AM for some reason :-/

<script>
if (window != '<framename>') {
parent.location = location;}
</script>

Instead of going to the top frame, it will only go up one.

You could also try.

<script>
if (window != '<framename>') {
top.location.document.<framename> = location;}
</script>

As in, go to the top frame and then dive back in to the level where you want the page to appear.
