how to "reframe" dynamically generated pages?

*Jeff* · 07-01-2000, 06:16 PM

I use frames to center my directory (including cgi-generated pages like search results), but I run into a problem when pages are sometimes called directly without their framesets. I want to use this simple code inside the head to reframe all 'body' pages when necessary, including cgi-generated pages:

Code Sample:

 

<script langugage=&quot;JavaScript&quot;>

if(window==top.window)

{top.window.location='http://myurl.com/frameset/index.shtm'}

</script>

But the next step is the hard one. I need to somehow call the resulting frameset so that the body will be the page they just came from:

Code Sample:

 

<FRAMESET>

<FRAME NAME=&quot;left&quot; SRC=&quot;left.htm&quot;>

<FRAME NAME=&quot;body&quot; SRC=&quot;WHERE THEY JUST CAME FROM&quot;>

<FRAME NAME=&quot;right&quot; SRC=&quot;right.htm&quot;>

</FRAMESET>

I thought I could do this using

Code Sample:

 

<!--#echo var='redirect_url'-->

or

<!--#echo var='HTTP-REFERER'-->

but this doesn't work since these seem to only be generated when a user clicks a link to the page, not by the javascript which results only in SSI generating (none)

Any ideas would be appreciated!

(I'm new to SSI and PHP as I couldn't use either on my old NT server.)
