Frames

[riches85]

I have a site that uses frames. It has a top frame for the header and then a main frame for the sites contents. When you traverse the site the URL at the top of the browser doesnot change. Is there a way to have the url reflect the location of the page in the main frame?

in framed pages the url does not change as far as i know...

if your server has SSI or php or asp instead of frames you could consider includes. Then the url will reflect the new addresses.

sometime you just gotta say "WHAT THE @#*% !!"

The address bar contains the name of the page. In a framed site, that is the frameset page (a lot of people use frames because they don't want that URL to change). You have three options:

[ol][li]If you're married to frames (for technological or pathological reasons), make a unique frameset page for each page.[/li][li]If you're not married to frames, then find a non-frames solution, thus each page will appear unique in the Address Bar.[/li][li]Something else that someone will suggest that I haven't thought of.[/li][/ol]
Why must you use frames?

Hope that helps!

Cheers,


Edward
