frames pages

[Guest]

My home page has a main and header frame. The header frame stays put as the
main page changes via links from the header.

On one page I have the Header and a content and main page. When I hyperlink
from the content to a bookmark on the main page my content frame disappears.
How can I stop this and keep the cotnent and the header up as well?

Many thanks in advance.

This is very hard to visualize. Please post the URL of the problem page.

I believe he is talking about it opening outside the frame. You should give
a target on the hyperlinks of "main" is that is what the main frame on your
web is called. THis makes the page oepn up in that frame, thus keeping he
banner in place.

At first, SOT talks about having two frames: main and header. Then he talks
about (maybe) three frames: main, header, and content. This makes me wonder
if he might be displaying one frameset within another. But rather than guess,
let's wait for the URL and then have a look at the real situation.

The problem is on the Philosophy page which I can link to OK - but when
using the hyperlinks from the content frame on that page to the main frame -
I lose the Banner and the content.

Many thanks

It is never a good idea to have nested framesets.

Your links do not have a target frame value assigned, which should be "destination"
Right click on each link, then select Hyperlink Properties, then in Frame Target enter:

destination

I agree with Tom about not displaying framesets within framesets.

However, if you *must* do this, a hyperlink from your "Philosophy" content
that restores your "Home Page" layout would look like this:

<a href="javascript:top.frames.main.location.href=happymain.htm';">Home</a>

This, BTW, is why most designers avoid framesets. They're nice for a site of
6-8 pages, but the more pages you add, the more unweildy the frameset becomes.

Yeah - like sites with 9 pages are a complete bear! 8)

The problem with frames is that the people who most often select them for
use are the ones who are least able to deal with the issues that inevitably
arise from their use. They are *not* a good general method of web
development - although there are specific places where they are useful.
