Pages loaded without Frameset? 1

[JennyW]

Hi people!

I have a website using two Frames.
The Left frame is my Menu
The Right frame is my body (where my text lies)

When I make a selection using the menu (Left Frame) my body (Right Frame) loads the specified url.

I have several different pages that will load up in my Right Frame (body). Each of those pages is individually searchable by several search engines.

Here’s my question…

I was wondering, if someone performs a search and links to one of my body pages (Right Frame) would that page be loaded without the frameset (without the Left Frame – Menu)?

=================

Similar question…

I have a website (like above) with two frames
The Left frame is my Menu
The Right frame is my body

Now, if someone’s navigating in my site and links to another one of my body pages (Right Frame) and decides to bookmark it, will the bookmark be saved on that specific body page?

Or will the bookmark just save the initial body page when you first come in and view the site?

Thanks for taking the time to all of read this,
Jenny

The search engines will build links to the individual pages, so you'll lose the frameset if they follow one. However, I think that if a user bookmarks a page it will return to the top level frameset index, regardless of the sub-page they bookmarked. This may have changed and be browser-specific, but that's one of the reasons I stopped using frames and started using a scripting language (ASP, JSP) to include a global navbar or what have you.

That's how I remember it working anyway
