One frameset, two different uses

dfwalton · Jan 14, 2004

When users log on, they are either managers or schedulers. I nhave been using two framesets (MgrFrame and SchedFrame) but that isn't working out too well. The contents for Managers and Scheds overlap, but some actions are only available to one group nor ther other.
I can't figure out how to initially populate the same three frames within the frameset, depending on the user type.

Two questions: I am going about this the right way? If so, what's the solution?

Many thanks

Never mind, I figured it out all by myself.
Using coldFusion I did the following:

<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>

<body>
<cfif trim(ListGetAt(getAuthUser(), 4)) EQ 5>
<cfset Session.Top="portMgrHead.cfm">
<cfelse>
<cfset Session.Top="portSchdHead.cfm">
</cfif>
<form action="MgrFrame.cfm"><input type="submit" name="BtnTest" Value="Go"></form>
</body>
</html>

This worked!
