A javaScript can be used that will automatically handle the request to remove the existing framesets. This can be given as:
<script type=âtext/javascriptâ>
if (top.frames.length!=0)
if (window.location.href.replace)
top.location.replace(self.location.href);
else
top.location.href=self.document.href;
</script>
51- How to include a frameset inside another frameset?
One frameset can be defined inside another frameset if the accessing permission are provided directly. The frameset can be stored by using the JavaScript in the document that is being written by the user and the script is as follows:
<SCRIPT TYPE=âtext/javascriptâ>
if (parent.location.href == self.location.href)
if (window.location.href.replace)
window.location.replace(âframe.htmlâ);
else
// causes problems with back button, but works
window.location.href = âframe.htmlâ;
</SCRIPT>
The anchor <a> tag is used to link the frameset that can be used to restore the frames that has been stored.
<A HREF=âframeset.htmlâ TARGET=â_topâ>Restore the frame
There is always a separate frameset document written for every content document. The frameset documents are generated automatically. The content document can be linked separately rather than linking them together.
52- How to update two frames at the same time using HTML?
To update the two frames at the same time there is a requirement for the HTML based techniques that links the documents with a new frameset document. It specifies a new frames that can be combined with other frames. There is a JavaScript that will be used to link the updated frame and the method that will be used is onClick(). HTML based technique allow the new frameset document with the attribute of TARGET=_top. In this the first frameset document uses a secondary frameset document that will be defined as the nested frameset. The following code explains it further:
<frameset cols=â*,3*â>
<frame src=âfirst.htmlâ name=âfirst_framesetâ>
<frame src=âsecond.htmlâ name=âsec_framesetâ>
<noframes>
</body></noframes>
</frameset>
The link that is given in the TARGET= âsec_framesetâ attribute it replaces all the frames that is defined as second.html.
