forcing a site into a frame
HI i want to know if there is a way i can set my site up so that any time that a page is visited without its frame is automatically forced into a frameset:
ex(my first time in ascii art):
Lats say someone visits a page on my site directly =(they view a page that is supposed to be viewed in a frameset) whatever.htm:
_____________________
| |
| |
| |
| |
|whatever.htm |
| |
| |
| |
|_____________________|
How do i make sure that if a visitor views a page like above it is automatically forced in a frame like below:
----------------------------------------
navigation |
bar |
|
|
|
|
| whatever.htm
|
|
|
|
-------------------------------------------
i hope you undertand my question and I hope you can answer it. thanks in advance.
PS: tell me what you think about my ascii art. LOL, i've never tried it before.

is javascript to tell if it is in frames, if it is then leave it alone, if it isn't then document write the frames. Very simple. Make the "main" frame the URL to the current page....
hope this makes since, i think that javascript source may have something pre-written, i'm short on time, or i would do it for ye.

http://www.irt.org has tutorials and explanations on JavaScript and Frames and how to do this.
Yes, it's possible, but depending on what you want to do, it can be complex. If it's just testing for a frameset, it's quite simple, but I will defer to them, as they explain it so well.

this will make every page go the homepage thingy...
// your_frames.js file
// you can use the link to include this in every page
if (top.location == self.location) {
top.location = "frames.html"
}
this will force every page into frames without sending them to the homepage. it will be different in every page, so you can't link it.
<HTML>
<script LANGUAGE=JAVASCRIPT>
<!--
<strong>// your_framed.html</strong>
linkURL = "<strong>home.html</strong>" //default page
if (parent.document.URL) {
callingURL = parent.document.URL
if (callingURL.indexOf('?') != -1) {
linkURL = callingURL.substring(callingURL.indexOf('?')+1,callingURL.length)
}
}
document.writeln('<FRAMESET COLS="30%,70%">')
document.writeln('<FRAME SRC="your_nav_bar.html" NAME="left">')
document.writeln('<FRAME SRC="' + linkURL + '" NAME="content">')
document.writeln('<\/FRAMESET>')
// -->
</script>
</HTML>
<HTML>
<script LANGUAGE=JAVASCRIPT TYPE="TEXT/JAVASCRIPT">
<!--
<strong>// some_page.html</strong>
if (top.location == self.location) {
top.location.href = "<strong>your_framed.html</strong>?<strong>some_page.html</strong>"
}
// -->
</script>
<BODY BGCOLOR=WHITE>
blah blah blah
</BODY>
</HTML>
You *should* be able to copy paste and just edit the bold stuff.
Good Luck,

When I tried the code you gave me, one or more of the following things happened:
1. I got a message saying THIS PROGRAM HAS PERFORMED AN ILLEGAL OPERATION AND WILL BE SHUT DOWN
2. i was just redirected to the INDEX page(with the original frameset)
3. it ran correctly but the MAIN CONTENT window just stayed blank
4. I got mad
5. I turned off my computer
Please help.

never mind, a few minutes after i read your post i remembered something the book said about certain scripts not running correctly offline on certain browsers. and when i uploaded your/the book's code to the internet on my site and tried it, it worked.
YEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

interesting... I never heard that about the offline thing before.
Actually, I don't think that makes sense... JavaScript is client side, so I don't see why that would make a difference.
But hey, if it works, why complain. Right?

the flaw is in the browser not the code the book said that there is some bug that in explorer that it can't handle some javascripts locally
