absolute digression

If I post a variable within a frame then would that variable go through to the frame childeren so the main frames page loads the frame pages and sets a variable e.g. $logged in and includes all of the config.php variables so that inclusion would noit be needed within the other pages😃

In a word, "No"... :evilgrin:

But you could always load the value of the variable in a parent frame via, e.g.

<script language="Javascript">
var mySecret = 'I am a programmer';
</script>

In your child frames, you can access the variable via:

<script language="Javascript">
alert(parent.mySecret); // if the parent is 1 hierarchy above OR
alert(top.mySecret); // if the value is stored in the TOP frame
</script>

but wouldn't be useful in PHP scripts.. hehehee..

This can make for some data sharing without the use of cookies otherwise, PHP includes, _GET variables....

Cheers.
