Hi Paul et al,

I want the main index page to be totally WITHOUT frames so that users
without
frames enabled can accress it.  However,  I want it to look like the pages
with
frames (a navbar on the left) to keep the feel of the site intact.

When the visitor selects a link from the selaction, this will then lauch a
set of
frames, based on whichever one of six choices is made.

Basically, I want to be able to pass the name of the selected page - say
xyz.htm
to a function that will then load up the frameset with the navbar on the
left and
xyz.htm in the main frame. However, a visitors different choice could result
in
zzz.htm being the first page in the main frame.

I hope this clarifies it - my brain is going to sleep here (11pm having been
out
bowling this evening!)

TIA,

Mark Harvey
