hotmail style frame
Whenever I use hotmail and you click on a link to go outside of the site it opens a special frame. It has a small frame at the top of the main frame allowing you to return to the site. How do you get it so it does that, without having to manually do it for each frame.
How would I do this for my site (FREE!)
I would prefer something in JAVA or DHTML / HTML preferably. But I don't mind a hosted CGI either.

Make your HTML files with the 2 frames, but name the file with the tags in it "redirect.php" (so it's PHP). Then instead of putting an URL for the bottom frame, put this:
<?= $URL ?>
So it would look something like this:
">
Now you can link to redirect.php?url=http://www.google.com/
You can replace google.com with the URL you want.

I've done what you said. Do I have to launch it to get it to work now since it isn't just working on my desktop.
I'll post the code here:
-------------------------
This is the link I have used:
Google
This is the frameset page code named redirect.php:
"
This page uses frames, but your browser doesn't support them.

I've done that now, do I put it in the Cgi bin or something like that. Sorry, PHP is not my area of expertise, I am a complete novice on PHP.
Take a look @ http://www.higherengineranking.com/ywith/test2.htm
I've just loaded it all into my main directory for the web pages, not in the CGI-bin or anything. The bottom frame doesn't load anything to it.
This is what you gave me, but how come the speach-marks haven't been closed off may I ask and there's an '>' at the end.
">
Could it be I haven't typed any special coding at the top of the PHP script or something that is needed. All I did was re-name the file from redirect.htm to redirect.php.
Should the script work offline on my hard-drive, and not be launched to the server?

Hmm.. What version of PHP is the server running? Try replacing $_REQUEST[url] with $url or $HTTP_GET_VARS[url]

$url was the one that worked in the end. Thank you everso for your time and patience. If you ever want a link exchange, just say so!

Ok, I'll put the link, but can you give me a short synopsis (a sentence will do) about the services you offer, so I can put that by the link in the website tools section.
I'll use that frame for going to your site as well.
