How to concatening/pasting multiple web pages into one browser window with FRAMESET ???

[Wladimir Borsov]

I would like to load multiple web pages from Internet into ONE single browser
window - one below the other. How do I do that most easily ?

One idea is to built a frameset (for e.g 6 web pages) like:

<FRAMESET ROWS="*,*,*,*,*,100%" BORDER=0 FRAMEBORDER=0>
<FRAME SRC="http://www.firstdomain.com/index.html" NAME="first" MARGINWIDTH=1 SCROLLING=NO TITLE=1>
<FRAME SRC="http://www.secdomain.com/welcome.html" NAME="second" MARGINWIDTH=1 SCROLLING=NO TITLE=2>
<FRAME SRC="http://www.thirddomain.com" NAME="third" MARGINWIDTH=1 SCROLLING=NO TITLE=3>
<FRAME SRC="http://www.fourthdomain.com/intro.html" NAME="fourth" MARGINWIDTH=1 SCROLLING=NO TITLE=4>
<FRAME SRC="http://www.fifthdomain.com" NAME="fifth" MARGINWIDTH=1 SCROLLING=NO TITLE=5>
.....

The problem is that "*" in the frameset definition as a placeholder for
"use as much place as you need" does not work. How can I cope with that problem ?

No it does not mean that. It means use the rest of the canvas.

<frameset rows="10,10,*"...> means two frames at 10 pixels and a third that
uses the rest of the canvas.

<frameset rows="*,*,*"...> probably means one frame that uses the rest of
the canvas and then two that are 0 pixels high.
How can I cope with that problem ?

You can't. A frameset occupies the browsers canvas, no more.

BTW do you own all of those sites?

Cheers

Get a server side script to fetch the 6 pages and combine them into a
singlepage.

A bad idea. Apart from all the normal problems, frames by design
create multiple windows, but you seem to want one continuous windows.
Ergo you do not want frames at all.
<FRAMESET ROWS="*,*,*,*,*,100%" BORDER=0 FRAMEBORDER=0>
<FRAME SRC="http://www.firstdomain.com/index.html" NAME="first" MARGINWIDTH=1 SCROLLING=NO TITLE=1>
<FRAME SRC="http://www.secdomain.com/welcome.html" NAME="second" MARGINWIDTH=1 SCROLLING=NO TITLE=2>
<FRAME SRC="http://www.thirddomain.com" NAME="third" MARGINWIDTH=1 SCROLLING=NO TITLE=3>
<FRAME SRC="http://www.fourthdomain.com/intro.html" NAME="fourth" MARGINWIDTH=1 SCROLLING=NO TITLE=4>
<FRAME SRC="http://www.fifthdomain.com" NAME="fifth" MARGINWIDTH=1 SCROLLING=NO TITLE=5>
....

It's not meant to work. * means 'use all the available space'. In this
case the available space is zero as the 100% leaves nothing left over.

the "*" does not mean 'as much as you need'!
it means: 'how much can you TAKE?'

in you frameset you have defined the last row a height of 100% of the
screen. therefore leaving NO space for the other frames. try ths frameset:

<FRAMESET ROWS="16%,16%,16%,16%,16%,*" BORDER=0 FRAMEBORDER=0>

this will evenly devide the frames and showing all 6 sites. the 16% by this
formula:

a = 100 / b

where b is the number of frames.

First of all, it's not really a JavaScript question. Secondly, "*" doesn't mean "use as much place as you
need", it means "use whatever is left over". You should only use "*" once, all other frames should have
an assigned value:

<FRAMESET ROWS="16%,16%,16%,16%,16%,16%" BORDER=0 FRAMEBORDER=0>

If you are doing this dynamically, presumably at some point you know how many frames you'll be loading so
you could do something like:

<script type="text/javascript">

var numberOfFrames = 6;

var eachFramePercent = Math.floor(100 / numberOfFrames);

var frameTag = '<FRAMESET ROWS="';

var rowsAttrib = new Array();
for (var i = 0; i < numberOfFrames; i++) {
rowsAttrib.push(eachFramePercent + '%');
}

frameTag += rowsAttrib.join(',');
frameTag += '" BORDER="0" FRAMEBORDER="0">';
// build rest of frameTag here with each <FRAME>
frameTag += '</FRAMESET>';

document.write(frameTag);

</script>

No, "*" means use one portion of whatever is left over. Likewise, "2*"
means use two portions of whatever is left over. It is perfectly legitimate
to use more than one "*" in a COLS or ROWS attribute, for example:

<frameset rows="*,*,*,*,*,*">

would divide the available space into 6 equally spaced rows.
<script type="text/javascript">
[snip]
</script>

This example would produce a blank page with no FRAMESET element for those
of us with JavaScript disabled/unsupported.

If you have ROWS="*,*,*,*,*,100%" then the 100% frame will get all the
space, why not try
ROWS="*,*,*,*,*,*"
