 :defrag: :defrag: :defrag: Hi all, a quick guide here with a free script!

As some of you know Im a fan of frames sites, those are sites that use the frameset system for page layout. If you need help with frames have a look at my site and a look at this tutorial too https://www.tutorialspoint.com/html/html_frames.htm.

The big issue with frameset sites though is that they don't save browser history properly, you cant share links to sub pages and the back button does not work.. crappy stuff! BUT I have a fix for all of that and I'll share it here! Example: Instead of just going to https://melonking.net/melon, you can now visit https://melonking.net/melon?z=/links to jump to a particular framed page.

PREMADE TEMPLATE:
I have attached "frames-template.html" this is a template frame site layout you can download and use! It also explains a little about how to modify the frames! (If you download the template you don't need to install the script yourself, its pre-setup :grin:smile:

How to Install (Works for iFrame sites tooo!!)
Add this code to the <head> of your frameset page or main page containing your iFrame (Typically your index.html)
Code
<script src="https://melonking.net/scripts/frame-link.js"></script>

Then add id="mainframe" to your main <iFrame> or Frameset <frame> tag.

Done!

Optional Steps
Optional: Create a second <script></script> section AFTER you link the frame-link.js
Optional: add updateTitle = false; if you want to disable title updating. (Default is true)
Optional: add titlePrefix = "My Site "; if you want to add a prefix to your titles. (Default is none)
Optional: add pageParam = "z"; if you want to change the url path of your pages. (Default is z)
Optional: if you use a Hit Counter add hitCounterFunction = function () { XXX MY HIT COUNTER CODE }, this function will automatically be called each time someone click a page, so you can log per page hits within your frame.

The GoatCounter documentation is currently offline, so I cant provide a pre-made hitCounterFunction for you, but I'll add one in the future if the documentation ever comes back!

i was super excited to try this out, till i got to the disclaimer... LOL

NOTE: If you use one of those fancy iframe sites (like cinni.net) this guide will not work for you directly, but it can be easily adapted to suit your site too! Ask in the comments if you need help with that and Ill figure it out.

either way, i've been wanting to do something like this one day cuz that's the one thing i dont like about iframes :-O

Does anyone know how to make this work with div ids? I'd like to link to specific blog posts on my blog page and I give them all IDs based on the post title, like, for example "is-twilight-alright" for my most recent post. When I try to navigate to the individual blog HTML file outside of the frameset (like https://purplehello98.neocities.org/blog/frame#is-twilight-alright), the IDs work fine, but when I try to go to the post in the frameset (like https://purplehello98.neocities.org/main?z=/blog/frame#is-twilight-alright) it doesn't work. Does anyone know how to make it work short of just making every post its own page?

i rember back when I first made this script feeling exactly like this; I dunno why it’s such a simple script, but it’s just so useful and I don’t know of anything else like it. I’m glad you got it working too  :ozwomp:

That's not the issue ^^

It looks like you have setup the script just fine, but you have not setup any links to actually change what's in your iFrame (that's unrelated to this script).

Normally when you want links to open in an iFrame you need to use the target parameter in combination with a name parameter.
e.g. We make an iframe with the name "main" and then a link that targets "main".
Code
<iframe src="myfile.html" id="mainframe" name="main" />
<a href="mylink.html" target="main">Link</a>
It looks like you didn't do this on your old site too; you were using full URLs instead of file names.. which is definitely not the best way to do it, but it tricked the script into working  :tongue:
