Right - let me try and explain:
Our new site is NOT built using frames, however we have a large amount of active content. As soon as you navigate to ANY active content, you are hosted by a different server, and the page looks the same, but IS in frames, with a header and lower frame.
(Active content is 3 different sign in/registration pages, plus different log-ins depending on what product you have.)

What I want is for the frameset to recognise the referrer and depending on what the referrer is, to load the appropriate page in the lower frame.
I assumed this wouldn't be that difficult - I thought on the link TO the active content I could use a file.html?name=blahand then use some javascript in the frameset to tell it to use the name section (or similar) to load the appropriate page in the lower frame.

I don't see how a <target> attribute can work when I am not already in a frameset? I will be going from no frames, to frames, and want the lower frame to be dependant on where the user has just navigated from.
Any ideas?
