Website Frames not showing up

Guest

When searching for one of the topics in my website on Google , the topic page
comes up, but without the frame. What is going on. Why is the frame not
connected to the pages in my website?

Because the search engines crawl individual pages, not framesets.
That's one of the major disadvantages of using frames, as has been pointed
out in the FP newsgroup for years.

and the google (or whatever) results link to the individual pages in a
framset, not the frameset itself.
What you could do though, is have a link on the main page(s) to reload the
frameset.
eg. if a user browsers to your site to a page called main.htm which should
be in a frameset called frames with two other files "header.htm" and
"menu.htm" then you need a link on the page called "Main.htm" to link to
"frames.htm"

That will reload the full frameset.
