The only point in which I think my script was "better", is that I would pass location.href as a param, so than every "child-page" can contain exactly the same script. Have phun!

Nevel Bipolar (III) Inmate From: Amsterdam Insane since: Jun 2002	posted 10-09-2002 13:00 Well, The tricky part is indeed loading the correct page inside of the child-frame. This forces you to dynamically build (or modify) your frameset, based on the url-parameter received by the frameset(if any). If no url is being passed, you can just load the initial page. Unlike many other cool scripts, writing that script isn't so hard. Figuring out how it can be done took me a lot of inspirational showers . My script still runs at http://home.ie.hva.nl/stats/framed/ if anyone's interested. Still, the script on scriptasylum is far more "streetwise", so I'd recommand using that one.

i dont know it very well, but i think you can check for

if(window.document.frames==false)

then there are no frames and can make a redirect to the frame page:

location.href='linkhere';

or something like that.
