Default need advice with frames - thanks - 04-16-2008 , 04:25 PM






I.

I got an index page built with four frames : top, left, center and
bottom.

How can I block direct access to the frames' urls ?

For example, http://..../index.html should work but not http://..../top.html.

Can I use an HTML code which redirects to index.html if frame's url is
typed ?
Or should I use .htaccess file ?

THanks for help.

You probably won't have to worry. If you are building a site with the
frame layout mentioned above you will probably not be bothered with a
lot of visitors. At least not ones that will ever come back.

None of these things. If you want to keep the flickeringly deadums
frames technology alive, there are two ways at least to go:

Have a prominent link on each of the frames to the effect that if
someone lands on it in isolation and is not seeing the others (you
describe or put an intelligent mini pic to give the idea, to go to
index.

Have separate framesets for each page and only use links to these
framesets in your navigation.

As you ponder these workarounds, you might conclude that they rather
take the edge off the the advantages of this frames technology.

You cannot know this at all. You would be gambling with your money to
bet on it, relying only on that if anyone used frames these days, they
are likely to be new and less than competent, their lack of experience
and judgement reverberating into all the areas that are relevant to
attracting visitors.

Here is something, Travis, from me to you, for you to misunderstand. I
like and succeed in being badly misunderstood.

The Obscure One.

Oh sure.... You don't get yelled at by dorayme when you say the exact
same thing I did.

The only difference is I said it with some flair...

O come on Travis... I didn't do no yelling. I was whispering all hoarse
like, whip held tightly and hidden behind my back...

Plus, B is not saying what you are saying. He was giving a fact, you
were speculating. And when Travis speculates, dorayme whispers things
back.

Hell, I actually think you were agreeing with me, just saying it
nicer.

Seriously, yes and no. I think it bad to completely stamp out all uses
of frames, we have a moral duty to preserve the species and have it out
in the world competing and living as best as it can. People here are
hell bent on frameicide.

Even those that would have endangered species in zoos have some
heartfelt hopes of a return to the wild. The heartless regulars here
would not even countenance a zoo for poor frames. That is what concerns
me.

Travis, I don't suppose you would be interested in joining my new
organization, Framepeace? Please send $US10. And anyone else - Boji? -
who wants to Save the Frame from extinction.

Me - send money? Ha ha ha ha!! Yeah, right.

Seriously, though, this is boring. I like it better when you are in
virtual dingbat mode. It may not be logical, but somehow it's just more
human. -Okay: "animal" then.
