How can I detect if a web-page is accessed via a form, or not?

[Ctroll]

Folks,

I'm sure this is a classic problem, but I couldn't find the solution:

I present web-pages through framesets. But (i.e.) Google users are being sent directly to the standalone web pages.

Is it possible for a Javascript to detect (via browser session properties?) whether a web page is loaded by a parent frameset (opposed to as a standalone page)? If yes, then I would have the option to redirect the user to the parent frameset.

Thanks for any (helpful) comments.
Hope I made sense. English is not my native language..

Sweet.. My first post, and I got the Subject wrong.

Should have been: "How can I detect if a web-page is accessed via FRAMES, or not"?

There is an FAQ that may help you: faq216-3190

Maybe you could just provide a link for them to click on (that wraps the page in a frame). Personally, when I encounter a site that uses frames, I just close it right away -- there is always another site out there I can go to for the same information/goods/service. That's just my opinion

Cheers,

Make sure your web page and css validates properly against the doctype you have chosen - before you attempt to debug a problem!

That FAQ seems to be the solution
I owe you a virtual beer

ps; After 9 years with my non-db driven site, I had to take frames into use for one particular branch of the site. I'm not a great fan of frames myself..


Thanks!
