Frames, links and more

L

Lae135

I have a frames page with a header and a mainframe - this keeps the user at
my site when directed to an outside link. Works great - until today :(

All my outside links use the same "header" directing back to my homepage.
All of those work. The problem is the newer links I made today open a whole
new page where my older links opened within the same page I was on ( I am not
sure of the lingo..like is this the mainframe, parent target self target
etc...)

The only thing I noticed different in the code between the old and new pages
(other than the link itself) is the > after the "<frame name="topFrame"
scrolling="NO" noresize src="headerforoutsidelinks.htm" > is one space away
from the " so, I moved it....when I did that - the following code popped up
on its own without any direction (seemingly) from me - target="_self"> -
Well, I cannot erase this code....any one know what is going on? Why is FP
adding this on its own?

Here is the "bad" code - then the good code
<frameset rows="54,*" frameborder="NO" border="0" framespacing="0">
<frame name="topFrame" scrolling="NO" noresize
src="headerforoutsidelinks.htm">
<frame name="mainFrame"
src="http://www.realestateabc.com/homebuying/Default.htm" target="_self">
</frameset>

<noframes><body>

</body></noframes>
</html>

the good:

<frameset rows="54,*" frameborder="NO" border="0" framespacing="0">
<frame name="topFrame" scrolling="NO" noresize
src="headerforoutsidelinks.htm">
<frame name="mainFrame"
src="http://www.rismedia.com/index.php/article/articleview/9271/1/1/">
</frameset>

<noframes><body>

Open your frame set page (probably up your home page) and edit back to the "good" code you had in your post

PS
Trust you are aware framing someone else's site w/ their permission is a no-no

You don't have any rights to content on other sites w/o their express permission
- see the copyrights on most sites
- some sites will even take legal action for "framing" them in you site

Plus many sites will probably "break" your frames

I get it...your advice did fix the problem...I had no idea I had the control
for the frame in that main page. Seems so simple a fix. As for the framing of
sites, I am writing them all emails asking to frame them. I wanted to thank
you for telling me that. I am new to the web design world and am still
learning all the ins and outs. Thanks again for that heads up!!
