frames page linking to frames page

[northernbeaver]

I have one frameset with two frame; one header up top and the main body. There is a menu in the header bar and when a link in the header is pressed I would like the bottom frame to split into two to give the appearance of a menu along the left side and the main body to the right side. since I wont know how many frames are open how do I set up the menu in the header so it doesnt contiuniously add that left frame. I only need it there once.

Hi ragenpryde.
Check the value of

Top.Frames.length

. It'll give you the number of opened frames. Beware : if you open a page witch content a frameset into a top level frame, you'll got 2 framesets with 2 frames in it so :

Top.Frames.length

will be 2. Water is not bad as long as it stays out human body ;-)
