Hey. I wrote a system that works like this:
When someone clicks a link to an external site, it automatically loads a frameset which puts my "Navigator" up-top (complete with forms for news, weather, search, etc) and then puts the URL content on the bottom.

Here's my problem: I need to capture the second frames URL every time a user moves to a different page. This way, when a user clicks "Remove Frame", it automatically dumps them to the current page, rather than the initial URL passed to the system.

Can someone provide me with an answer so this? Thanks.

you can read out other frames' urls using javascript:

parent.frames[1].location.href

for the 2nd frame which shoult be the content frame in your case

this url can be linked by the "remove frame" link; as a parameter take target=_blank.

one thing I forgot, sorry:
you can't hard-code the url into a link since javascript has to read out the url first, in this case.

have javascript redirect to the content page, not the html link itself.

Do you think you can toss me a short source code for this with just the frames set to capture the URL each time and the "remove frame" link. I have never touched JavaScript other than for mouseovers and naming.

If you can, it would be a great help. Thanks.
