I have been challenged to generate a page with two column frames and contain the frame source within a single html page. I have the pages working in the normal fashion where my index.html page defines the framesets for 'left' and 'right', and the src= definition points to their resective left.html and right.html files. I wasn't able to figure out how to define the frame sources (src=) such that they point to code within index.html. Thought I might be able to use 'anchor', but apparently not. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thx.

clayj,
I'm not sure about a static solution, but it might be possible using Javascript. Here's a possible solution (the theory sounds fine, but I haven't tested it...):
Create the frameset, and point the frame src of each frame to be
. Then add an onLoad event to the frameset, so when it's all done, you can run some code:
For each of the frames you want to 'load' the source for, you could do something like:

"about:blank"For each of the frames you want to 'load' the source for, you could do something like:
Code:
frameName.document.open();
frameName.document.writeln('<html>');
frameName.document.writeln('<head>');
frameName.document.writeln('</head>');
frameName.document.writeln('<body>');
frameName.document.writeln('Line 1<br>');
frameName.document.writeln('Line 2<br>');
frameName.document.writeln('Line 3<br>');
frameName.document.writeln('</body>');
frameName.document.writeln('</html>');
frameName.document.close();[code]
As I say - the theory sounds fine, so it's over to you to see if it works in practice ;o)
Hope this helps!
