Odd HTML Quandry

Hey, I'm working on a curious webpage:

http://www.alphachronicles.com

It uses IFRAME to seperate content and navigation, opening new pages
and such. If someone wanted to link to content, could they? If they
link to the content page independently, it's going to look ugly.

Any way to have a link bring up the main alphachronicles.com home page,
but load the content they want in the IFRAME?

Hope it's not too big a stumper. :)

Yuck... several of the links on that page are to MS Word files. You'd
be better off using some format less proprietary.

If you're going to use a separate frameset for each content frame, then
you are no longer using framesets for the reason that they are generally
used.

Very mature, guys.

It's been what, a couple hours since I posted my question?
The site is now down.

I appreciate the help, but so much for Usenet. Guess I'll stick to my
local library.

So?

One way to avoid the problems inherent in the design of frames is to avoid
using frames. The other is to put in the extra effort to use frames while
working around the problems.

Anything else leaves you with the problems: orphan content pages, page
states with no URL to describe them, etc.

Don't be so quick to blame. Web sites get posted in this newsgroup
all the time. If yours was brought down by the attention, then
that might mean your server can't stand the load, or something else
happened. Unless you have evidence of a denial-of-service attack,
don't accuse *us* of immaturity.

Or call your ISP's tech support.
