URL stuck with old frame URL

I have a page which is divided into three horizontal frames. In the bottom frame is a link to the next page. When the user clicks on the link to the next page, the URL for the next page remains the same as the URL for the page which had the frames in it. As I want to use the URL for each page later on this is a problem! Does anyone know how to fix this? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Amy

working demo's of your site, and code? This way I'll better be able to assist you.

Thread moved from 'PHP Coding' to 'Client Side Things' by kendo.

Reason: not php

that's the problem with frames, there is no way to change the URL without moving to a new set of frames or to a page without frames if you load a link in a frame the URL remains the URL of the frames code not the code for any of the individual frames. Does this make sense?

Frames is a chest of drawers, no matter what's in the drawers or how many times you change what's in the drawers the location of the chest is unchanged. The URL points at the chest, not the individual drawers even when you click the link at the bottom it just changes what is in one of the drawers, it doesn't change the chest or it's location. best analogy I could think of.

There is a working demo of my site at:

It is still under construction so not all of it works!

If you want to escape the frames use target='_top' and the URL's will change as you move from page to page.

Great - that works!

Thanks.
