Does the “save to favorites†(while using frame based page) only not work on
certain browsers? I did a test on IE and it works here in my office as well
as at another location?
 
When you select save to favorites, only the link to the frameset is saved, not what was loaded in
the frameset that the user was actually viewing. So when the link is clicked the user is taken back
to the frameset with the initial page load the you specified during the design.

Thomas is the guru here, but I have recently set up as "Save to Favorites"
from a framed site

This is what i used

<!--[if gte IE 4]>
<a href="javascript:window.external.AddFavorite
('http://tandcl.homemail.com.au','Trevor and Carole\'s Home
Page')"
title="Add our site to your favorites">
Add our site to your favorites!</a><br>

<font face="arial, helvetica" size="-2">Free JavaScripts provided by
<a href="http://javascriptsource.com">The JavaScript Source</a>
</font>
<![endif]-->
As you can see, the code comes from javascriptsource.com

The test for IE means that other browwers don't see it. And hard coding the
site and the title overcomes the problem that the link would be to the frame
not to index.html

Incidentally, is there a way to return the top level file name and its title
?
I tried things like top.document.href and top.document.title, but so far
with no success.

Trevor,

Aren't you still linking to the frameset page?

If you hard code a link to inside page, then the page would be loaded outside of the frameset,
unless using a JavaScript Dynamic frameset.

Yes, I am, which actually what I want, because I don't want anyone to link
into a frame page. Although to avoid this occurring I do have JS code which
is called onload of all (well most) of fhe frames
function detect()
{
var framesetpage = "index.html"
if (parent.location.href == window.location.href)
parent.location.href = framesetpage
}
