Hey all,
I have been racking my brain trying to figure this out. I have a website that has an index page with one iframe in it. Then a couple pages have two iframes ( a menu frame and content frame). I am trying to get it so when i click on a link back to a page with one frame from the two frame page it goes back to the index page and puts the correct on content in its iframe. I found something on here that works but I have to double click it. I only want them to have to single click.

here is an example of what i tried
<area href=&quot;index.htm&quot; target=&quot;_top&quot; onClick=&quot;javascript:parent.main.location='project/project.htm' shape=&quot;rect&quot; coords=&quot;460, 5, 523, 22&quot;>
<area href=&quot;index.htm&quot; target=&quot;_top&quot; onClick=&quot;javascript:parent.main.location='services.htm' shape=&quot;rect&quot; coords=&quot;526, 7, 583, 21&quot;>
<area target=&quot;_top&quot; href=&quot;index-resume.htm&quot; shape=&quot;rect&quot; coords=&quot;589, 7, 652, 21&quot;>

here is the actual site in question
I know just enough about javascript to get by.. so I cant figure this one out..


thanks in advance
rob

The simplest way is to put the following in between the head tags of the pages you only want to show in the one frame page.
<script>
<!--
if (top==self)
self.location.href=&quot;index.htm&quot;;
-->
</script>
hope this helps

By the way

<area href=&quot;index.htm&quot; target=&quot;_top&quot; etc

should really be in the following format

<a href=&quot;index.htm&quot; target=&quot;_top&quot;>Click Me</a>

that may be why it doesn't work and there are a lot of javascript errors on the site.

they are hotspot's so the area href is correct, I think. The script you posted is nice but doesnt do what I am looking for. that script will rediect non frame pages to the main frame page.. I need to go from a main page with two frames to a main page with one frame and fill the frame with the correct content page..

thanks

Create your single page frame as follows
<!-- index.html -->
<html>
<head>
<title>Your site</title>
</head>

<script>
ref = location.href;


pageRE = /(\?|\&)page=(\w|,)*/;
pageStr = ref.match(pageRE);

// Set the default page to be shown in the frame when the frameset is
// loaded without parameters
// change welcome to page you would normally
// load but leave out the htm or html part

page = &quot;welcome&quot;;

if(pageStr != null) {
// remove the (? or &)page= part of the string
page = pageStr[0].substring(6, pageStr[0].length);

// change all comma's back to slashes
page.replace(&quot;/,/&quot;, &quot;/\//&quot;);
}

document.write(&quot;<frameset border='0'>&quot;);
document.write(&quot;<FRAME NAME='Mainframe' SRC='&quot; +
page + &quot;.html' SCROLLING=AUTO NORESIZE FRAMEBORDER='0'>&quot;);

document.write(&quot;</FRAMESET><noframes>Put your no-frames content here (description + keywords), some prehistoric search enignes will only read this!</noframes>&quot;);

</script>
</html>


Then in every page you want to load in the single frame page change the body tag as follows

<body OnLoad=&quot;if(parent.frames.length==0)top.location='index.html?page=page2';&quot;>

you will need to change page=page2 to whatever the pagename is agian without the html part
Hope this helps
