I have a site with frames. Like most sites with frames, clicking
links in one frame changes the page in the other frame.
Obviously, if someone puts in the URL for my site, they will get the
"homepage" when they first get there. What I would like to accomplish
is that if they leave my site, and then use the BACK button to come
back, that the site will open with the homepage, not whatever page
they were at when they left. Is that possible using javascript? If
so, how?
My site isn't actually "on the web" yet, so I can't give you a URL.
Thanks for any help!

Why in the world would you want to do something so horrible and anti-
user-friendly? What did your users do to you to deserve such a thing?
*g*
Can it be done? No, not reliably. The page doesn't usually reload when
the user hits the back button. You might be able to hack up a solution
that would work in some browsers with a setTimeout and a check and
probably a cookie, but you're going to irritate the holy hell out of
anyone using your site.

While I agree with much of what is posted here, I am using frames
precisely because of a couple of the so-called "drawbacks" of frames.

I don't want users to be able to bookmark individual pages of the
site. In fact, it is absolutely critical that they cannot get to any
page without first going through the homepage. There a privacy issues
involved.

Thanks for the info. This isn't critical, but it would have been a
nice addition. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics
