How do I do this (involves frames)?

[hellswraith]

I am trying to put together the address of my site, but have one frame show a certain page from my site. Hmm, kinda confusing...

Here is a URL : www.somewhere.com/index.htm

Although you would type : www.somewhere.com because it will default to that. Now, within that index.htm page, I have 6 frames. How do I specify which page should load in a certain page just by writing a url into the browser address bar.
Example:
www.somewhere.com/index.htm(something here to make frame 'main' = a certain page.)

Sorry if so confusing...

ok, this is probably not what you are saying but couldn't you just do like, http://www.somewhere.com/frame1.htm?

and that would display them the way you want?

I may be able to help if you explain the problem more.

That would be fine, but it will only show the one frame in the browser.

I guess the best way for you to understand is to go to my site, http://www.russellsplace.com/variantx

Notice how there are 9 frames on the page. It automatically starts with the main page in the center. What I want to do is create a URL that instead of having the main page in the center, have a different page from my site, like the programs.htm page, in the center.

Can this be done?

Could you try copying your index.htm and rename it programindex.htm (or something). Edit the code so your middle page loads up your program.htm.

Therefore, if you goto www.somewhere.com it will take you to your normal page, but if you goto www.somewhere.com/programindex.htm it'll look the same as your normal page but with the programs.htm in the middle frame.

Hope you can understand that and it helps you.

Thanks, I thought of that allready, it just sucks having to make a whole new page just for this. That is what I am going to do. It's not hard, just more pages to manage.

Sorry I don't really understand your question. As far as I can make out, you should be able to open any of the pages independent of the frameset (which is probably called index.html), so the URL would be simply www.somewhere.com/mainpage.htm where mainpage is the page that appears in the main frame of your frameset.

Alternatively, if you want the page to appear in the frameset, but without the other pages, It may be worthwhile creating a duplicate of the frameset and putting blank pages in the frames you dont want to display.

If this response is no use, sorry, but like I say, I didn't really understand the question

Good Luck. :D

anybody tried using these links to somewhere.com ? haha :D

what sucks is he must get a lot of email. I always fill in email blocks with someone@somewhere.com

That must suck...

another I use is
joe@smith.com

what is smith.com?

perhaps the webmaster at somewhere.com is secretly chuffed with the traffic he accidentally gets...ultimately, its more hits for him, and some of those hits are going to be curious enough to stick around, perhaps provide some business...

I just remembered that I often use x@x.com as my blind email address. I always assumed x.com didnt exist...how wrong.
