Re: forced framing of php page

PHP can be used to simplify the Javascript, though. What I have done in the past is to maintain a session array variable, $frames, within which I keep the URL of the page opened in each frameset. This means that index.htm (or whatever file defines your frameset) can be written to put the right page into each frame - eg after a refresh. When a page is opened, it simply needs JavaScript to (a) update $frames, (b) determine whether index.htm is part of its URL, and (c) if it isn't, redirect to index.htm - which will now know which page to open in which frame. The alternative is usually to pass the name of the page being opened as a parameter to index.htm, which works, but does not survive a refresh. Unfortunately I don't have any sample code for this to hand, but the hardest part is the JavaScript which you (ie Chris) already have anyway. Remember that sessions require PHP v4, of-course. -- Mark Rogers Remove the .news to reply by mail.
