Non-DW frameset

As this is a question about a site that was not made with Dreamweaver, I quite
understand if you ignore it. (I would explain my reasons for posting here were
it not for a post on this forum not long ago about how to ask questions.)

My problem: I took over maintenance of this site http://www.mambambe.nl that
uses javascript framesets:

_____________
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" TYPE="text/javascript">
<!--
if (location.search=="")
{
document.write("<FRAMESET FRAMEBORDER='no' FRAMESPACING=0 BORDER=0
ROWS='41,*,45'>");
document.write("<FRAME NAME='t' SRC='topmenu_optredens.htm' MARGINWIDTH=1
SCROLLING='no' NORESIZE>");
document.write("<FRAMESET FRAMEBORDER='no' FRAMESPACING=0 BORDER=0
COLS='205,*'>");
document.write("<FRAME NAME='l' SRC='l_optredens.htm' MARGINWIDTH=1
SCROLLING='no' NORESIZE>");
document.write("<FRAME NAME='r' SRC='r_optredens.htm' MARGINWIDTH=1
SCROLLING='auto'>");
document.write("</FRAMESET>");
document.write("<FRAME NAME='b' SRC='../voettekst.htm' MARGINWIDTH=1
SCROLLING='no' NORESIZE>");
document.write("</FRAMESET>");
}

____________________________

I had to make changes in certain pages and hoped just changing the source htm
file (for instance SRC='l_optredens.htm') would do the trick, but my uploaded
changes don't show.

Can someone help me?
Thanks.

Your approach will work.

The javascript is dynamically writing the frameset code. Why? Beats me....

Murray! That was quick. Thanks for responding. There must be something else
wrong, for my changes don't show up. It is good to know though that my logic
made sense.

Thought of that. Refreshed several times, looked in other browsers that had
never been used for this site before...

But thanks for the tip.

Having had something to do with that particular series of posts... You
have nothing to worry about. When you post a problem, you use
appropriate subjects, tell concisely what the problem is, what your
objective is, and what you've done about it. Just keep doing what
you're doing.

My problem: I took over maintenance of this site
http://www.mambambe.nl that uses javascript framesets:

I had to make changes in certain pages and hoped just changing the
source htm file (for instance SRC='l_optredens.htm') would do the
trick, but my uploaded changes don't show.

That particular page http://www.mambambe.nl/optredens/l_optredens.htm
is showing a 'last changed' date of 23 Feb 2005. Are you sure you
uploaded it? If so, did you upload it to the right directory?

If you're going to keep on working with this site, I'd seriously
consider a complete rewrite to flat pages. There's nothing inherent in
the design which would argue for frames. I like the colors, but the
overall look could use a makeover, too.

That is still there from the page that I am trying to change. That date is not
pulled by php (if that is the right terminology) but just written text. I
removed it in the page I redid - it is one of the changes that don't upload.

I don't like the colours at all and have indeed suggested a total make-over.
The owner of the site agrees but for now wants some minor changes in the text.

I have checked over and over again whether I uploaded to the right remote
folders. As far as I can see now they are all in the right place (but I am
getting a bit groggy from peering at the screen looking for mistakes).

I am trying to get hold of the host, for I suddenly remembered them having
moved all sites to a different server and instating htdocs/ as the remote root
folder. The site I am uploading to may be the old site for it does not show a
htdocs folder.

Thanks for reassuring me and trying to help.

That is no help either. The htdocs folders are not used for the site concerned
(different package).

It turned out the host had not migrated the website as it should have done.
All is fine now, nothing to do with these weird framesets.
