I missed part of this thread somewhere along the way, so sorry if I'm re-covering old
ground here...
I assume that dumping the frames altogether is not an option for you.
Sounds like what you need to do is have the log-in form aimed at target _top, to
reload the whole frameset. The frame-set page would may have to be an Embperl page,
(or be otherwise output dynamically to decide what to load into each frame and
possibly send params to the in-frame pages) which would in turn load the correct pages
(Embperl or not) into the two frames.
Another option would be using Javascript to control what page gets put into what
frame, as I believe someone else mentioned.
Hope that helps. Confuses the hell out of me...
