Links to specific page inside a frameset

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

Is there a way to link to a specific page inside a frameset from outside that frameset?

Example:
Index.html contains the following frames:
<frameset rows=”30,*” framespacing=”0″ frameborder=”NO” border=”0″>
<frame src=”top.html” name=”topFrame” scrolling=”NO” noresize>
<frame src=”About.html” name=”mainFrame”>
</frameset>

Now, if I want to put a link from an external website to the above website but instead of loading About.html in the mainframe (the default) I want to link directly to let say Products.html in the mainframe.

Is it possible to load a frameset with pages other than the default pages from an external link (outside of the target frameset)?

Looking forward to your response

@djbrinkauthorOct 27.2005 — I know how to use fragment identifiers to refer to a section inside a page such as:

Products.html#new for instance. but this page is then either a frameless page or inside my current frameset.

but I do not know how to use them to refer to a specific page inside someone else's frameset other than the default pages.

@saeOct 27.2005 — Have you given thought to trying something like using a php URL GET command? Your address on your website would have to be something like:

www.WEBSITE.com/index.php?pageid=products.htm

Your page code would then have to be something like:

<?php

$pageid = isset($_GET['pageid']) ? $_GET['pageid'] : NULL;

?>

<frameset rows="30,*" framespacing="0" frameborder="NO" border="0">

<frame src="top.html" name="topFrame" scrolling="NO" noresize>

<frame src="<?php echo($pageid); ?>" name="mainFrame">

</frameset>

You would have to save this page as index.php and not index.html

The code I mentioned above will more than likely not work as I am a php newbie (if it does, I lucked out), but it should give you an idea.

Only problem is, the frameset to which I want to link does not belong to me, thus, I cannot legally make changes to their index file to suite my needs to link to a specific page other than their defaults.

I hope someone has another possibility.

Success!
