Hello,

Does anyone know if its possible to force a page to open in a frame(thats not the default document) from another site.

example)

I have a site that consists of two frames.. top and bottom. Now, from a different site altogether, I want to open the document myPage.htm in the bottom frame. If it were within the same site, I could just set the target as the bottom frame.. but from another site I have no idea how/if this can be done.

Thanks,
Greg
 
Certainly, just enter the complete URL this is done all the time, it is how Hotmail displays sites you click to from an email for instance...

When in doubt, deny all terms and defnitions.
 
well, thats not quite what I want to do..

The top frame of my site is basically a navigation bar, which opens up the different html pages in the bottom frame. When the site initially loads, nav.hml loads in the top frame, and firstPage.htm loads in the bottom frame. I have a page called secondPage.htm, which I want to be loaded in place of firstPage for certain users. If I were able to build this site using jsps or asps, it wouldnt be a problem at all... I was just wondering if theres a way to have a certain document load in the bottom frame depending on the link..

Sorry about the confusion from my first post.
