I have a site under construction which has a footer in a frame. The footer
contains a string of text links. The problem is that although the links
work fine, the page title does not change upon opening the new page. See

Does anyone have a clue how to fix this?
The page title on a framed site will always be the title of the enclosing
frame. But you can change the title using JavaScript. If you have a link in
a footer frame loading a page into an upper frame, you need to make your
link call some JavaScript to (i) load the new page and (ii) change the
enclosing frame title
I'm a bit rusty nowadays but here's a sketch of what you have to do.
Name the frames:
<frameset rows="2">
<frame src="mainframe.htm" name="main">
<frame src="navframe.htm" name="nav">
</frameset>
Put some script in the <head> of the nav frame
<script>
function link(src, title) {
main.src=src;
parent.title=title;
}
Change the links:
<a href="JavaScript:link('home.htm','My Home Page');">Home</a>
You can improve on this, for instance you might worry about your links not
working if JS is disabled so add a return(True); to the function and make
the link:
<a href="home.htm" target="main" onClick="Javascript:return(link....
This will work either way but the title will only change if JS is enabled.
And I'm sure everyone will now explain why you should be using layers or
divs or even a table instead of frames for this!
