Javascript - external link to framset

Tom Jordan

Hi all,

Ok, could do with some advice on this.

I've written a script in ASP for a client so they can compose HTML
newsletters and include various products from the online database.

I didn't create the original site, which is nicely done but sadly all
done in frames. Now the problem, in the body of the email I NEED to
link to various internal pages of the website. I know this isn't
possible using HTML (as far as I know). So, what I figured I could do
is link to a page on the site, run some Javascript to open the
frameset with the desired frame in the content window.

Sorry if this isn't very clear, I could really do with a point in the
right direction.

Any suggestions would be v much appreciated!

Tom

Nah, forget javascript, just create a frameset for each initial
combination you need to link to, it'll take moments and work for
everyone.

No, this can't be done unless the original frames author allowed for the
passing of a param to the frameset telling it which frame to load. Which she
or he should have, but probably didn't. ;)

You might be able to hack it, but most of the time, security restraints will
prevent you from changing the frameset with script from a script that isn't
resident in the frameset.

Now, if the author put script into his frame pages that loads the page into
the frameset if it is attempted to be loaded without it, you could just link
to the pages. This is what I do for my intranet frame app. I also do the
first thing I mentioned. I don't know what the original author did, though.

If you can modify the frameset page, you could easily allow the passing of a
page (url param) telling it what page to load...

XHTML, JavaScript, and CSS incompatability

I am trying to develop very standards-compliant content using XHTML and CSS. I am using CSS positioning and thus need to only include my stylesheet on browsers I have tested to make sure they display correctly.

Javascript frameset problem

I have framset with leftFrame, mainFrame, TopFrame.

This works beautifully locally (both in IE6 and IE7) and online in IE7, but frustratingly, online in IE6, the javascript does not render on the page, unless you refresh the page. Is there something different about the way IE6 handles sessions? Why

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
