| This is fairly easy if you can do a bit of ASP programming.
|
| 1. Rename your Frames page to have a .asp filename
| extension.
| 2. Add a block of code such as the following to the
| <head> section of the renamed frames page.
| <%
| if request("main") = "" then
| mainurl = "dftmain.htm"
| else
| mainurl = request("main")
| end if
| %>
| 3. Change the definition of the "main" frame from
| <frame name="main">
| to
| <frame name="<%=mainurl%>">
|
| After you make these changes, a link such as
| <a href="frameset.asp">
| will display the frameset showing the dftmain.htm page,
| and a link such as
| <a href="frameset.asp?url=alt1.htm">
| will display the frameset showing the alt1.htm page.
|
| You could also do this with cookies, but it would be a
| little messier. Clicking a hyperlink to the frames page
| would have to invoke a script that set a cookie and then
| loaded the frames page. A script in the frames page would
| then look for the cookie and upon finding it, display the
| appropriate page.
|
| If this is too much programming, then creating multiple
| frames pages may be your only option.
