Yeah, it's not going to resolve the way you want. The frames have no solid connection to the calling page (frameset). Your best bet would be to include the shared variables in a URL string when you call the frames:
<frame name="tree" src="dsp_treeframe.cfm?sharedVar=#thisNthat#" marginwidth="2" marginheight="2" scrolling="auto" frameborder="0"> You could use SESSION or CLIENT scope, but it seems unnecessary, and then you would have to worry about locking.

I'm in a fusebox setting. I have a variable which I'm setting in one template. Then the next template is included which defines a frameset. This variable is available in this template. But one of the frames is a cf template and the variable isn't resolvable there. I tried request and client scope with no luck. Here's the excerpt from my fbx_switch: <cfcase value="tree2"> <cfinclude template="qry_drawtree.cfm"> <cfinclude template="act_setvar.cfm"> SETS THE VARIABLE <cfinclude template="dsp_tree2.cfm"> DEFINES THE FRAMESET </cfcase> Here's the frameset: <frameset rows="60,*,40" border="0"> <frame name="header" src="dsp_header.cfm" marginwidth="15" marginheight="15" scrolling="no" frameborder="0"> <frameset cols="300,*" border="0"> <frame name="tree" src="dsp_treeframe.cfm" marginwidth="2" marginheight="2" scrolling="auto" frameborder="0"> <frame name="content" src="dsp_content.cfm" marginwidth="15" marginheight="15" scrolling="auto" frameborder="0"> </frameset> <frame name="footer" src="dsp_footer.cfm" marginwidth="15" marginheight="15" scrolling="no" frameborder="0"> </frameset> And my variable isn't resolvable in dsp_treeframe.cfm. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists&body=lists/cf_talk FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.
