Hello
I have a website built in frames (cannot change)
I have added the following script to the pages to force frames (individual pages displayed on google)
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!-- Begin
if (parent.location.href == self.location.href) {
window.location.href = 'index.htm';
}
// End -->
</script>

Two questions
1. When you access one of the pages, the entire frameset does indeed display. However, if the user hits the back button it redisplays the page and you have to use the browser drop-down-back to get out of it.
Is there a way to adjust the script so that they can indeed go Back?

2. Should I put NO INDEX/NO FOLLOW on all of the pages except the frameset?

Thanks kindly

Not totally sure what you want, but..

Here is an old example I have.

http://home.tbbs.net/shadow/hardforu...xhtmlframe.htm

If you load main.htm, top.htm or menu.htm separately, it will force xhtmlframe.htm

The links in the menu target the main frame.

If you click back, main.htm will reload in the main frame.

The script in xhtmlframe wasn't finished, but was to allow for links that would load a certain site in main.

Ignore the title of the web page. (it's not php)

Just for kicks here's the query string version.

http://home.tbbs.net/shadow/hardforu...xhtmlframe.htm

You can test the force frames part with these URIs.

http://home.tbbs.net/shadow/hardforu...frame2/top.htm
http://home.tbbs.net/shadow/hardforu...rame2/menu.htm
http://home.tbbs.net/shadow/hardforu...rame2/main.htm

You can test the javascript query string function with this URI.

http://home.tbbs.net/shadow/hardforu...www.google.com

If a validator could process dyanamic html created by javascript, then everything would be compliant besides the one frameset border attrbute. Of course if you try to validate it the way it is, it would throw lots of errors because the frameset code is writtin via javascript if javascript is turned on.

Again, not sure what you need, but the examples should help.
