If you insist on using frames (which will not let users bookmark pages in the framesets and are not SE friendly) you will need to
build all your pages in Dynamic Framesets
- see

IMHO
- serve your users better by dropping the frames and if certain "content" must be visible on all pages consider using DHTML and CSS
- you'll find lots of options at

| this is a site for an architectural firm...
| i have viewed many other architecture firms websites and they are even layed
| out worse. they may look cool and all with rollovers that cause things to
| move and stuff but you can't even hit the back arrow at all and the
| favoriting doesn't actually favorite a specific page... the point here is to
| help viewers to navigate and this solves just that. and my boss wants the
| first screen because of our logo and all that.
| i will try java script now for the link and hope i get something. thanks
