Links Within Frames

[Edward]

FP98

I have a map of the country within which are the counties. Each county is a
link to a main frameset for that county. Visitors arrive at the map, which
is not within a frameset.

When a visitor clicks a county, say Gloucestershire, the county opens inside
a frameset with a navigation bar on the left. At the top of this navigation
bar is a button link back to the map.

Can anyone tell me how to create a link to this page (map) from within the
frame (side bar) that opens the page outside the frameset. Links within that
page then return you to any of a number of other framesets (Counties). I
want to be able to link back and forth this way.

At the moment, if I click the link on the side bar, the page (map) opens
inside the frame. When I click a county from there, a duplicate frame set
opens so I finish up with two identical framesets one inside the other.

I hope you can understand this!

TIA

Ed

You have encountered on of the problems with framesets.
Links to the frameset call the frameset which then calls
the links to the individual pages. There is no good way
to change which content page the frameset calls.

Although framesets are good in some instances, I would
suggest you consider a different approach in your case.
Look into Shared Borders, Tables and Include Pages. See
Front Page Help to get you started.
