Why would you use session for this ? nonsense. Hans method is what should be
used.
<frameset cols="205,*">
<frame name="leftFrame" src="city_frame.php">
<frame name="rightFrame" src="city.php">
</frameset>
city_frame.php
-----------------------------------------
<a href="city.php?city=Montreal" target="rightFrame">Montreal</a>
<a href="city.php?city=NY" target="rightFrame">NY</a>
<a href="city.php?city=Africa" target="rightFrame">Africa</a>
city.php
-----------------------------------------
echo $_GET["city"];
Even with more frames, the concept is the same... Good luck.
