Links to a frames site

[shrubble]

I'm publishing an eNewsletter that will be sent out as an email by my company, and am having one small problem. One of the links in the letter will be pointing to a specific page on our site, but our site has that whole frames thing going on where you click on the left frame and the content pops up on the right.

I'm wondering how to point from the eNewsletter to our site and a)load the frames site with b) the correct content in the left pane. Any help would be great, thanks!

I meant load into the right pane! Sorry.

You can't write a link to a particular combination of frameset pages. This is one of the disadvantages of using frames.

If you have access to the website, you could create a special frameset page that had the combination of pages you wanted and link to that instead, or use some kind of scripting that builds the frameset on the fly. Failing that you'll just have to link to the page that appears in the right-hand frame and rely on whatever links you have on that page for people to navigate and/or display the frames. It's how somebody coming from a search engine would see that page after all.

That's kinda what I thought, I've noticed the topic conspicuously absent from the 20-zillion HTML references I've looked through. Thanks anyway!
