HTML Titles in Frames
-
My website, link in signature, uses a total of 5 frames. When initially loaded up, the
index.htmlbreaks it into a banner frame up top for a navigation page, and a body frame below for content. All the content pages load up 3 smaller frames, one for a left margin, one a right, and one main content. It sounds complicated but it makes sense to me. Anyways, the title bar across my web browser always reads thetitletag fromindex.html. How can I get it to read thetitletag of the page in the lower frame? The question "Do computers think?" is the same as "Can submarines swim?" DragonFire Software Jeryth -

titleproperty of the topmost document (window.top); set theonLoadhandler of your main document to set the title to the title of the current document (document.title). Or you could avoid frames :) On my system, your logo takes up nearly half of the screen and I can't easily link to pages inside your site. - Mike -

Could you give me a more detailed example or code snippet to work with? As for taking out the frames, I'd love to but the banner at the top reloads every time I go to a new page and I'm not sure how to stop that from happening. I guess I could do the whole thing in Flash, but that will take a little bit to complete. For the logo size, I purposely made it less than 800 pixels wide for anyone out there on 800x600 screens. Get a bigger monitor and resolution :-D The question "Do computers think?" is the same as "Can submarines swim?" DragonFire Software Jeryth

Add this to the
bodytag in your content frame pages:onload="window.top.document.title = document.title"
This will set the title of the top level document (the frameset page) to the title of the current document. I've thrown together a downloadable example here: http://lugatgt.org/rxtemp/[^] - Mike
