Link to a page in a frame set

I would like to know how can I write a link to a specific page viewing the all frame set.
The page is called “example.htm” and if the link is: “http://www.mysite.com/example.htm” I only see the page “example.htm” but I don’t see the rest of the frameset and I want to see it all.
How should I write a correct link to respond to my needs?
Thanks.

@ray326Jan 31.2008 — You use the URL of the containing frameset, which is a separate page.

@SelfMadeManauthorJan 31.2008 — Thank you for your reply "ray326". This is probably just another piece of cake for you. However I can't get it done. Can you be more specific? Can't you write down that URL for me? Or, where can I get more details? Thanks.

@Robert_WellockJan 31.2008 — Hmmm: http://www.xhtmlcoder.com/test.htm You have a frameset file and from there you name the pages you want in the frames. You then have to use targets.

<FRAMESET cols="85%, 15%">

<FRAME src="1.htm">

<FRAME src="2.htm">

<NOFRAMES>

Oops. You can't see frames.

</NOFRAMES>

</FRAMESET>

@SelfMadeManauthorJan 31.2008 — I'm sorry but I probably didn't know how to express myself clearly.

Let me try differently:

I have a frameset with 2 frames (A and ?. Frame A is a "MenuPage" and frame B is the target (the frame where pages selected in frame A, are shown).

Now, if I call menuitem "Test" (for example) I will see the contents of the page "test.htm" in frame B. There's no question about that. So far so good!

Now, if I send a URL to someone like this:

http://www.myweb.com/index.htm (default page) he will see all the frame set.

But if the URL is:

http://www.mypage.com/test.htm he will see ONLY the page called "test.htm" and NOT all frame set: frame A and frame B (showing page test.htm).

Please try to help me, ok? Thanks.

@ray326Jan 31.2008 — And that's the fundamental reason that frames should not be used. They break the functionality of the web.
