Search-machine and frames?

[ezras]

Hi everybody,

I created a website with three frames: banner-, topics- and main-frame. Naturally the main-frame is where the content is showing, the topics-frame contains the menu of the site and the banner-frame speaks for itself.

The problem I have with search-engines is this: When, for instance Google, finds one of my webpages and you click the link it will show that webpage only. But the rest of the site is not there (the three frames are not visible). When I click "home" on the particular website it will show my homepage, so THEN the three frames are visible. But I want them to be visible when somebody clicks a link in the searchengine, so that no matter what webpage they are clicking, my frames are visible.

How can I be sure that ALL my pages that normally open in the mainframe also do that from a searchengine, instead of just opening the page.

Greetings,
Ezra

I guess some sort of script at the top of each page, something like

If parent.frames(max) = 0 the redirect="

http://www.blah.com"

or whatever the corect javascript code is

Thanks for your reply. I'm not very into scripting. But I think there must be an easier way. There are many websites that work with frames, so the problem must exist with others also.
