Hey Everyone

I need some assistance on how to go about doing something...

Here goes:

I have a frameset document (default is a frameset) that builds my page with a top, bottom, and left frameset and loads the default pages into each frame. Deeper into the web site is a search function that searches a database of documents(it opens in the main frame of the above mentioned frameset). The results of the
search opens in a new two frame(top and bottom) frameset in the main frame of the top frameset. I know it's confusing, but all it doing is nesting a frameset inside another frameset.I do this so I can load the field header into the top frame of the new frameset and the records into the bottom frame of the new frameset. It's a setup I found online that allows the user to resort the data by clicking on the field header and the can also scroll right and left and the two frames are linked in the X coord system. Anyway that's a tangent.

Here is the challenge for all of you ASP or VBscript or Javascript gurus

In another web application, a function is setup to get all the documents(from above search) for a desired selection. I want to be able to determining in default.asp if the the user is coming from this other web application and get the selection they made and pass it to the search function mentioned above. However remember that the results of the search function calls a new frameset.I want to recreate from the top of web page all the way to the search result the same look as if you had navigated throught the site above to the search function then display the results. Does that make sense?

In summary
How can I make default.asp detect and deliver different content in the main frame of the top frameset document if the user is coming from somewhere specific with a specific request for the search function on the site?

Thanks for any help you can provide
