controlling redirection within frames

I have a question about how best to implement a redirection to a
framed version of a web site. Basically I have a web site that was
originally implemented without frames. Then it was decided that it
needed frame, so I made a page called index.aspx that contained the
frameset that initially displayed the original home page, home.aspx,
in one of the frames.

However that meant that the user had to go to
http://some_stuff/index.aspx instead of http://some_stuff/home.aspx
which was bad for various reasons (mostly because people are used to
home.aspx being the home page).

So we decided to make the home.aspx page redirect immediately to the
index.aspx page like this:

private void Page_Load(objec t sender, System.EventArg s e)
{
Response.Redire ct("/some_stuff/index.aspx");
}

However, this resulted in infinite redirections. So to stop it from
redirecting to the home.aspx page after the first time, I decided to
do something like this:

private void Page_Load(objec t sender, System.EventArg s e)
{
if(Session["beenHome"] == null)
{
Session["beenHome"] = "dummy";
Response.Redire ct("/some_stuff/index.aspx");
}
}

This works pretty well for the most part except that if after getting
to the home page (with the frames displaying correctly), the user
manually retypes the url to be http://some_stuff/home.aspx they will
get the page without the frames.

I understand why things work the way they do, but I'm just wondering
if there's a better way to do this (i.e. one without the flaw I
mentioned).

Thanks,
Dave

I tried finding an answer on http://www.quirksmode.org/ without success. I am attempting a complicated Frames structure. I have made it work in IE, but not Netscape. I begin with three frames, where the two lower ones are within a Frameset within the master Frameset: 1111111111111111111

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
