    Javascript - external link to framset

    Hi all,

    Ok, could do with some advice on this.

    I've written a script in ASP for a client so they can compose HTML
    newsletters and include various products from the online database.

    I didn't create the original site, which is nicely done but sadly all
    done in frames. Now the problem, in the body of the email I NEED to
    link to various internal pages of the website. I know this isn't
    possible using HTML (as far as I know). So, what I figured I could do
    is link to a page on the site, run some Javascript to open the
    frameset with the desired frame in the content window.

    Sorry if this isn't very clear, I could really do with a point in the
    right direction.

    Any suggestions would be v much appreciated!

    Tom

      Nah, forget javascript, just create a frameset for each initial
      combination you need to link to, it'll take moments and work for
      everyone.

          No, this can't be done unless the original frames author allowed for the
          passing of a param to the frameset telling it which frame to load. Which she
          or he should have, but probably didn't. ;)

          You might be able to hack it, but most of the time, security restraints will
          prevent you from changing the frameset with script from a script that isn't
          resident in the frameset.

          Now, if the author put script into his frame pages that loads the page into
          the frameset if it is attempted to be loaded without it, you could just link
          to the pages. This is what I do for my intranet frame app. I also do the
          first thing I mentioned. I don't know what the original author did, though.

          If you can modify the frameset page, you could easily allow the passing of a
          page (url param) telling it what page to load...
