Address

[rdjw2000]

Hi, i was wondering how like forwarding sites and like ops.powweb.com at times keeps the address bar saying the same thing? no matter where u go, it will still say like ops.powweb.com (for a bit) or like csaddict.cjb.net , how do you go about doing that? thanks

It's done with frames, and it's a bad idea in general. Many users dislike sites that do this - it makes it hard to know where you are in the site and to bookmark pages.

but HOW does one do it? lol

Just make a big frame and have the

<FRAME NAME="_frame1" SRC="page you want">

You may need to add HEIGHT="100%" and WIDTH="100%" to that, but I'm not sure.

To the links add

<A HREF="blahblahwhateverpage.extension" TARGET="_frame1">Stuff</A>

Again, the TARGET= may not be nesscessary, but I'm not sure.

Here's a frames tutorial: http://www.mcli.dist.maricopa.edu/tut/tut26.html

As Tidane said, instead of having multiple frames just use one big one for the whole page.

Changing the links to include the target is not necessary, except when linking to external websites, when you should use target="_blank" (new window) or target="_top" (removes your frames and opens the link in the full browser window).

As Steve said though, frames do have some disadvantages.
