[Resolved] force to frameset

rdhuff

How can I force the user to the parent frameset when they try to view a page that is a frame page within that frameset? For instance, if someone Googles to the site based on text on the main page of a frameset, how can I force the display of the entire frameset including the nav frame rather than have them see just the hit page from their search, so that they can then navigate to other pages?

Don't use frames. Use [man]include()[/man] then you can put your PHP files into tables like so:

<html>

<table>
<td><?php include('inc/head.php'); ?>
</td></table>
</hhtml>

and so on.

Okay, but I think that still begs the question - if someone tries to open one of the included files instead of the "parent", how can I force the parent file to be opened?

I've used this

frameset.php

<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--
defaultsubpage="main.php";
if (location.search) {subpage=location.search.substring(1)}
else {subpage=defaultsubpage}

if (subpage.indexOf('&&&')>=0) {
prefix=subpage.substring(0,subpage.indexOf('&&&'))+"://";
suffix=subpage.substring(subpage.indexOf('&&&')+3,subpage.length);
subpage=prefix+suffix;
}
// -->
</SCRIPT>

</head>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--

document.write(
'<frameset rows="55,*,50" frameborder="0" border="0">',
'<frame src="navigasjon.php" name="topp" id="topp" frameborder="No" scrolling="No" noresize marginwidth="0" marginheight="0">',
'<frame src="'+subpage+'" name="main" id="main" frameborder="No" scrolling="Auto" noresize marginwidth="0" marginheight="0">',
'<frame src="bunn.php" name="bunn" id="bunn" frameborder="No" scrolling="No" noresize marginwidth="0" marginheight="0">',
'</frameset>'
);

// -->
</SCRIPT>

</html>

file.php

 
<head>
<script>
function detect()
{
framesetpage="index2.php";
thispage=window.location.href;
if (thispage.indexOf('://')<0) {thispage="://"+thispage;};
prefix=thispage.substring(0,thispage.lastIndexOf('://'));
suffix=thispage.substring(thispage.lastIndexOf('://')+3,thispage.length);
// alert('the subpage is:['+prefix+']['+suffix+']');
if (parent.location.href==window.location.href) {parent.location.href=framesetpage+"?"+prefix+"&&&"+suffix};
}
</script>

</head>

<body onLoad="detect()" leftmargin=0 topmargin=0 marginwidth=0 marginheight=0 bgcolor='#bcbcb4'>

modify the code so it suites your needs

...and it works!

That's exactly what I was looking for. I appreciate the help!

Thanks very much, Thomas.

Just remember to modify, (as you probably found out)

in the frameset def.
defaultsubpage = to your main page

and in your file(s)

framesetpage= your frameset page
