link to frameset help...

how do you create a link on one page that links to a top/bottom frameset where a page from your site is displayed above and the target of the link in the bottom frame. An example would be google images when you click on a thumbnail and it show the google tumbnail in the top frame and the webpage the picture is from in the bottom. (http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=www.the-solar-system.net/asteroids/pictures/asteroid-eros-picture-2.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.the-solar-system.net/asteroids/asteroids-pictures.html&hl=en&h=256&w=369&start=1&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dpicture%26svnum%3D10%26hl%3Den%26lr%3 D%26ie%3DUTF-8%26oe%3DUTF-8)

thanks.

You can set the target attribute of your <a href='..'> tag to the frame name which you want to make the link... ex:

any html link:
< a href="http://www.linkhref.com" >link< /a >

frameset.php:
< frameset FRAMEBORDER=no rows="80, *" >
< frame src="http://www.site.net/topframe/genheader.php" name="top" scrolling="no" border=0 MARGINWIDTH=5 FRAMEBORDER=no >
< frame src="????????????" name="bottom" scrolling="no" border=0 MARGINWIDTH=5 FRAMEBORDER=no >
< /frameset >

The link has to go through frameset.php like above. Then how do i pass the target URL from the link to the ?????? part of the frameset?

<a href="http://www.linkhref.com" target="framename">link</a>

Reason: Client side question & answer.

<frameset rows="*,266" cols="*" framespacing="0" frameborder="NO" border="0">
<frame src="http://www.redhat.com" name="top" scrolling="no">
<frame src="http://www.google.com" name="leftFrame" scrolling="NO" noresize>
</frameset>
<noframes>

This places RedHat on top and Google on the bottom, with the bottom frame taking about 1/3 of the page.
