find parent frameset AND preserve page
I've looked all over for something that works, here is my challenge:
If clients search for employee webpages in our site, they can link directly to those pages. I've put in some javascript to redirect them back to the frameset page:
if (window == top) top.location.href = "../../index.htm";
but I can't find a way to preserve the page they came from. I've tried using URL strings (e.g., page.htm?id=thispage.htm,
but I'm not allowed to use server-side scripts to process redirects at the other end...meaning I need javascript that preserves the location of the page the clients were trying to access to begin with, or, some reliable way to read a URL string in javascript (I've found some that are either unreliable or too complicated for me)

one other thing, how could I take (what method)
function getCookie(name) {
var dc = document.cookie;
var prefix = name + "=";
var begin = dc.indexOf("; " + prefix);
if (begin == -1) {
begin = dc.indexOf(prefix);
if (begin != 0) return null;
} else
begin += 2;
var end = document.cookie.indexOf(";
if (end == -1)
end = dc.length;
return unescape(dc.substring(begi
}
and opent the name cookie in the right frame???

var dc = document.cookie;
var prefix = name + "=";

better end with:
MyPage=getCookie(nameOfCoo
if(MyPage!=null){
document.write("<frame name='TheName' src='" + MyPage + "' frameborder='no'>");
}else{
document.write("<frame name='TheName' src='TheNormalPage' etc..>;
}

MyPage=getCookie(nameOfCoo
if(MyPage!=null){
document.write("<frame name='TheName' src='" + MyPage + "' frameborder='no'>");
}else{
document.write("<frame name='TheName' src='TheNormalPage' etc..>;
}

Thanks for the help ADT, but I found a workaround without using cookies:
I used the writeline method to create the frameset
with a substring condition
linkURL = "content.htm"
if (parent.document.URL) {
callingURL = parent.document.URL
if (callingURL.indexOf('?') != -1) {
linkURL = callingURL.substring(calli
}
}
document.writeln('<framese
document.writeln('<frame src="title.htm" name="title" frameborder="NO" scrolling="NO" bordercolor="#000033">')
document.writeln('<frame src="header1.html" name="title2" scrolling="NO" frameborder="NO">')
document.writeln('<frame src="flashdetect.htm" name="nav" scrolling="NO">')
document.writeln('<FRAME SRC="' + linkURL + '" NAME="content">')
document.writeln('</frames
Then pasted the relocation with a string parameter in each individual page:
if (top.location == self.location) {
self.location.replace("../
}
So simple...too bad I don't bill by the hour...too bad my employer loves frames.
once I figured out the writeln method, I could add whatever script i wanted to the frame source...can't take any credit though:
