welcoming page problem ... help!

I have a page divided into two frames, bottom and top. The top frame is a
list of links and the bottom is an initial picture. When I select a link in
the top frame it opens appropriate information in the bottom frame thereby
replacing the initial picture. All this works fine with absolutely no
problem. However, here is my problem:

Let's say that the links in the top frame are letters of the alphabet and I
choose the "f" link which opens the "f" page in the bottom frame. If at
this point I leave the site, the next time I visit the site , it opens with
page "f" in the bottom rather than the initial picture. Now I figure that
if this is happening to me it is happening to anyone else visiting the site.
I would like the site always to open with the list on top and the initial
picture in the bottom.

This is a request for help solving this specific problem. It certainly is
not an invitation for a debate on the wisdom of using frames. Thanks in
advance for all advice.

In that case, why not a specific URL so I can help you by using your
example to say what to do so you understand it easily? First, I cannot
test what you are finding because no URL. When I last made a framed
site, this did not happen. It cannot happen if revisiting the site is
done via a link in your bookmarks to a frameset and the frameset says
exactly what pages to load. But if you are somehow bookmarking the
bottom frame itself, well, of course, that is what you will get when you
click the bookmark (or link in history or wherever).

Hello Sir. Thank you for helping.
My page's full address is
http://ca.geocities.com/tony.vella (...luz/index.html and I
bought a short url http://amedialuz.shorturl.com/ which aims at it. My
index.html links the opening frames with logo.html (top) and sections.html
(bottom). What you indicated gave me the idea that I might indeed be
"pointing" my bookmark at the wrong place, so I deleted the BM and created a
new one AND it seems to work fine. Once again thanks -- the quickest
solution this old geezer (64 going on 90) ever experienced.

If that is the case, my dear ma'am, my apologies know neither bounds nor
conditions.
Thank you sir for pointing it out - the lesson shall never be forgotten.

According to you. Anyway, about the pretty bit, I am more than this, I
have a coffin ready to fall into if I get any more gorgeous.

Start forgetting it, Boji is the leader of a gang that comes from a
rival planet to me and neither of us are human - this means no sex. He
tries hard to be man because he is scared of being deported back to his
planet and wants to fit in. He has not got the same graces as me and so
he chose the rougher sex.

Me, I don't care any more. I might even stop pretending to be an
Australian now that we have a Labour government and they are not so keen
to keep stum when the Americans render Australians to Egypt for vicious
torture and confessions.

See now the sort of can of worms that frames can open up?

When did an invitation become necessary?

Good purgatories, we are not used to such politeness here! But don't spoil
the wench now; she's hard enough to handle without assuaging her self-
doubts to no purpose.
