Frames causes back-button to malfunction.... . any remedies?

Hello,

Is there anyway to detect when the back button has been pushed? I have
three frames, and it requires three pushes of the back button to get
back to the previous "window". I would like to detect when the user
pushes it and send them back in one go.

thanks,

Matt.

You have to be very careful about this. If you press the
back button when you're already in the previous window,
it can bring your operating system down and damage your
soft disk.

Well, that's not going to work for _anyone_, maybe onunlOad, and that's if
the user has javascript available.

Hey, For some reason I am being forced to use frames on an internal website. What I am doing is usuing ASP to tell it what frames to be using for each STEP in the session. User interaction ---> Update Session Step ---> back to begnning... The user's session step is updated then sent back to the orgional page that creates the frames.

I know Jakob Neilsen and a bunch of other usability advocates and critics usually frown on usage frames. However, most people probably seem to have at least version 5 of IE or newer and I am toying with the idea of just using a small topframe in my site design. Do any of you have strong opinions either for or against frames? I personally don't mind sites with them if the borders are hidden and they are well-designed... Thanks,

Dear Newsgroup, many framed sites have an ancient script in all their pages: if(top==self) top.location=theframeset Some friendlier ones do this: if(top==self) document.write( '<a href=frameset>This page is ' + 'supposed to be frames</a>.' ) These scripts fail when the page is loaded within somebody's else's frameset.

Hi! I've been trying to create a home link in a document that is shown in a frameset of two frames.

I've tried to do the link with the following script:

Of course, every frame site I've ever seen has reduced usability and all. We've been through this before. But as frameset is still a part of HTML, there must be some legitimate use for it, hmm?

Would appreciate being pointed to a template or a sample web site that will show me how to do the following frame-like organization, without using frames. My objective is a web site done in CSS + HTML with a primary or entry page that shows three panels (panes, subsections, frames, pages, whatever): A, B, C. A = Header of the page, i.e., fixed content, across the top

Back when frames were in vogue, we would set up the navigation or menu bar to change the content of the main frame. This had the advantage of not requiring the whole page to reload. Just the target frame would reload. Can this be done in CSS? Every page I see in CSS the nav / menu bar causes the entire page to be reloaded. This seems inefficient. thanks
