Only way I've ever seen this done (reliably) is by using a single frame so the URL of the frameset page is left in the address bar and the site loads in the frame. I think this is what you mean, anyway...

k. well i tried that. but i also have a login feature that kicks it too a 3 frame set, and when it logs out it kicks it back to a single page, but i want it to go back to the original entry pages frame. so that i keeps showing the same thing. ne idea how i could do that?

Hi,

I guess if you're doing something like target="_top" at some point in an <a ...> then that will be the problem. You can always name the frame you created and then set the target to that name.

Hope you get what I mean,

well i figured it out, after a couple session variables (ASP) i got it to work. thanx for the frame idea.
but you wouldn't happen to know how todo the following would u?:

-how can i display things in the status bar? (Like: "hello and welcome to my page" sorta thing)

if you don't know how do you mebe know where i could ask in the forums about that?

: -how can i display things in the status bar? (Like: "hello and
: welcome to my page" sorta thing)
You need to use JavaScript. I think it's something like:-

window.status = 'Hello and welcome to my page';

: if you don't know how do you mebe know where i could ask in the
: forums about that?
There is a JavaScript forum that may be better for questions relating to harder JavaScript stuff...

I think you may need to put some code on each link...

<script language="javascript">

function ShowMessage() {
    window.status = 'Your message here';
}

</script>

<a href="somewhere.htm" onMouseOver="javascript:ShowMessage();">

Or something like that.
