frames

[johnallan]

I am updating a site which someone else built many years ago and I have run into a bizarre problem with frames.

http://www.seepaul.com

The menu on the left is in leftFrame and the content on the right is in mainFrame. This all works fine until you go to one of the purchase pages and click purchase. This loads a paypal doc into mainFrame which is correct. But then after doing that the menu on the left pops up new windows intstead of loading into the mainFrame...

any ideas?

How about getting rid of the frames? Seeing as though you are updating the site, now is the perfect opportunity to do it. There's nothing complicated that the frames are hiding by the look of it so you just need to include the menu on each page (which can be done via SSI or a server-side language to make it easier). Then, you will be rid of all the javascript problems that are arising due to the use of those frames.

The only reason I can think of that happening would be if Paypal were changing the name of your frame. Then the reference in your links would be to a frame name that does not exist, hence a new window would be opened. But I cannot reproduce your error on my machine and I cannot think why Paypal would do something like that. But other than that, I agree with ca8msm.

Try changing all:
<form action="

https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr"

method="post">

to
<form action="

https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr"

method="post" target="_blank">

This will get paypal out of the frameset.
