code help with asp and frames

dorling · Aug 25, 2004

hi there,

if i go to the address index.asp?cat=news

i can use the code:

Code:

<% Response.Write(cat) %>

and this will write out news in this example

but how can i do this if i am using frames i try this

Code:

<frameset rows="160,*" frameborder="NO" border="0" framespacing="0">
  <frame src="home/menu.asp" name="topFrame" scrolling="NO" noresize>
<%response.write("<frame src='" & request.querystring("cat") & "/main.asp' name='mainframe'>")%>
</frameset>

but this does not take the cat information to the page i need it to??

How can i do this

thanks in advance

If you browse to index.asp?cat=news and index.asp contains the frameset code below then I see no reason why it shouldn't work...

Code:

<frameset rows="160,*" frameborder="NO" border="0" framespacing="0">
  <frame src="home/menu.asp" name="topFrame" scrolling="NO" noresize>
<frame src="<%=request.querystring("cat")%>/main.asp" name="mainframe">
</frameset>

Code:

<%
If Request.Querystring("cat") <> "" Then
  strCat = Request.Querystring("cat")
Else
  strCat = "home"
End If
%>
<frameset rows="160,*" frameborder="NO" border="0" framespacing="0">
  <frame src="home/menu.asp" name="topFrame" scrolling="NO" noresize>
