I found this simple little script that allows me to check and see if my
pages are being displayed inside my frameset or solo. Several pages are
purely navigational, or simply part of the look and feel of the site. These
pages simply point back to the index.html which is my frameset, and load
properly.
The main pages I have modified the script to include a small paragraph that
the page is best viewed in a frame and then display the menu. If a user is
already in frames then they do not see this menu, or the paragraph. Its a
neat trick and I like the results up to a point.
Is there a way to load the frameset, and override the main page with the
calling pages name. example the frameset is designed to load with main.html
as the content section. Lets say the user clicks on the content1.html page
and sees the link to the frameset. If the click on the frameset they get
sent back to main.html instead of just pulling up the frameset with
content1.html loaded.
The easy solution is to create a seperate frameset document for each content
page. What I want however is to be able to add a snippit of code to every
page that I do not have to modify. Since others will be designing some of
the content pages, I would like to be able to just add the code to but the
frameset option at the end of there page and upload to the server. The
following is the snippet of code as I have it now.
<SCRIPT language=JavaScript type=text/javascript><!--
text1=("");
text2=("");
if (top.location == location) { text1=('<p>This website was designed to
utilize frames. The page you are viewing is being viewed without the aide
of the navigational user interface. It is the considered opinion of the
websites designer that you <a href="./">click here to view this
webpage as it was intended to be viewed!</a></p>');}
if (top.location == location) { text2=('<p align="center"> [ <a
href="huronmain.html"> Main Page </a> ¦ <a
href="crew/crewmanifest.html"> Crew Manifest </a> ¦ <a
href="copyright.html"> Copyright </a> ]</p>');}
document.write(text1);
document.write(text2);
/ / -->
</SCRIPT>
