Forcing page into frameset

Hello all,
I have a frameset called index1.asp which consists of 2 frames a top frame and a mainframe.

.... within index1.asp, after </head> ....

<frameset rows=&quot;21,*&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; framespacing=&quot;0&quot;>
<frame src=&quot;top.html&quot; marginwidth=&quot;0&quot; marginheight=&quot;0&quot; name=&quot;topFrame&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; scrolling=&quot;NO&quot; noresize>
<frame src=&quot;welcome.html&quot; marginwidth=&quot;0&quot; marginheight=&quot;0&quot; name=&quot;mainFrame&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; noresize>
<noframes>
<body bgcol

etc.. </frameset>

There is another page within my site that gets linked to from outside my site. I want this (and a couple of other pages) to get loaded within the frameset when navigated to.

I'm using the following within the pages I want loaded within the frameset : eg. fred.html

<script language=&quot;JavaScript&quot; type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;>
<!-- Hide script from old browsers
if (top.location == self.location) {
self.location.replace
(&quot;index1.asp&quot;)
}
-->
</script>

This does not replace welcome.html with fred.html. What am I doing wrong ?

thanks,
Credo

im guessing that what youve got is replacing your page fred.html with index.asp?

in that case you just need to add a line to change the location of the mainframe something like:

top.frames.mainframe.location=&quot;fred.html&quot;;

hope this helps..

thanks crazyboybert
- yes when I link to that page it ends up showing top.html and welcome.html I want it to show top.html and fred.html.

... sorry but where do I add that line exactly (within the if?)

thx

i'm afraid you should pass this new page's name like a parameter to your index.asp:

<script language=&quot;JavaScript&quot; type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;>
<!-- Hide script from old browsers
if (top.location == self.location) {
var loc=&quot;index1.asp?fred.html&quot;
self.location.replace(loc)
}
-->
</script>

& in your frameset you should extract this parameter from search string & set like a source to the needed frame..

somethink like that.. Victor
