the flaw is in the browser not the code the book said that there is some bug that in explorer that it can't handle some javascripts locally

interesting... I never heard that about the offline thing before.

Actually, I don't think that makes sense... JavaScript is client side, so I don't see why that would make a difference.

But hey, if it works, why complain. Right?

yeeeeeeeeaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!!!

never mind, a few minutes after i read your post i remembered something the book said about certain scripts not running correctly offline on certain browsers. and when i uploaded your/the book's code to the internet on my site and tried it, it worked.
YEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so your saying it's flawed in the book??
I hate it when that happens! I wish people proofed their books more thuroughly.

oooohhhhh

When I tried the code you gave me, one or more of the following things happened:
1. I got a message saying THIS PROGRAM HAS PERFORMED AN ILLEGAL OPERATION AND WILL BE SHUT DOWN
2. i was just redirected to the INDEX page(with the original frameset)
3. it ran correctly but the MAIN CONTENT window just stayed blank
4. I got mad
5. I turned off my computer
Please help.

this will make every page go the homepage thingy...

// your_frames.js file
// you can use the link to include this in every page

if (top.location == self.location) {
  top.location = "frames.html"
}

this will force every page into frames without sending them to the homepage. it will be different in every page, so you can't link it.

<HTML>
&lt;script LANGUAGE=JAVASCRIPT&gt;
<!-- 
<strong>// your_framed.html</strong>
linkURL = "<strong>home.html</strong>" //default page
if (parent.document.URL) {
	callingURL = parent.document.URL
	if (callingURL.indexOf('?') != -1) {
		linkURL = callingURL.substring(callingURL.indexOf('?')+1,callingURL.length)
	}
}

document.writeln('<FRAMESET COLS="30%,70%">')
document.writeln('<FRAME SRC="your_nav_bar.html" NAME="left">')
document.writeln('<FRAME SRC="' + linkURL + '" NAME="content">')
document.writeln('<\/FRAMESET>')

// -->
&lt;/script&gt; 
</HTML>


<HTML>
&lt;script LANGUAGE=JAVASCRIPT TYPE="TEXT/JAVASCRIPT"&gt;
<!--
<strong>// some_page.html</strong>
if (top.location == self.location) {
  top.location.href = "<strong>your_framed.html</strong>?<strong>some_page.html</strong>"
}
// -->
&lt;/script&gt;
<BODY BGCOLOR=WHITE>
blah blah blah
</BODY>
</HTML>

You *should* be able to copy paste and just edit the bold stuff.

Good Luck,
