 * anyone good with JavaScript here??? or have another idea ta solve a problem I
   have???
 * Set up my WP in frames an I know that after I get indexed in fo from my pages
   will be placed in the search results and link back to that page…but not that 
   page behind my frames..people coming in off the search results wont see my frame
   set-up at all.
 * I’ve fixed it before on another set-up using this JS in each page…
 * //////////////////////////////////////////////////////
    <script language=”JavaScript”
   type=”text/JavaScript”> <!– function frameMe(){ var frameset = “index.html”; 
   var frame = “mainFrame”; page = new String(self.document.location); var pos =
   page.lastIndexOf(“/”) + 1; var file = page.substr(pos); if(window.name != frame){
   var s = frameset + “?” + file + “&” + frame; top.location.replace(s); } return;}
   frameMe();
 * function MM_swapImgRestore() { //v3.0
    var i,x,a=document.MM_sr; for(i=0;a&&i
   <a.length&&(x=a[i])&&x.oSrc;i++) x.src=x.oSrc; }
 * function MM_preloadImages() { //v3.0
    var d=document; if(d.images){ if(!d.MM_p)
   d.MM_p=new Array(); var i,j=d.MM_p.length,a=MM_preloadImages.arguments; for(i
   =0; i<a.length; i++) if (a[i].indexOf(“#”)!=0){ d.MM_p[j]=new Image; d.MM_p[j
   ++].src=a[i];}} }
 * function MM_findObj(n, d) { //v4.01
    var p,i,x; if(!d) d=document; if((p=n.indexOf(“?”))
   >0&&parent.frames.length) { d=parent.frames[n.substring(p+1)].document; n=n.substring(
   0,p);} if(!(x=d[n])&&d.all) x=d.all[n]; for (i=0;!x&&i<d.forms.length;i++) x=
   d.forms[i][n]; for(i=0;!x&&d.layers&&i<d.layers.length;i++) x=MM_findObj(n,d.
   layers[i].document); if(!x && d.getElementById) x=d.getElementById(n); return
   x; }
 * function MM_swapImage() { //v3.0
    var i,j=0,x,a=MM_swapImage.arguments; document.
   MM_sr=new Array; for(i=0;i<(a.length-2);i+=3) if ((x=MM_findObj(a[i]))!=null){
   document.MM_sr[j++]=x; if(!x.oSrc) x.oSrc=x.src; x.src=a[i+2];} } //–> </script

 * thing is now though…I tryed it and it has a fit…ya type in the URL for a page
   in WP and becuase the WP is in its own directory the redirect can’t find the “
   mainFrame” in the index.html page.
 * So I moved WP to the root directory and gave it another shot….didn’t work…had
   a kinda entertaining effect though 🙂
 * I don’t know…maybe someone on here has a freash mind cuase mines fried right 
   now…
 * Tryed stickin WP in an <Iframe> as well…didn’t work

 * 🙂 I’m useing them as an examle for SEO. People use them and they can be a handy
   thing, but optimizing them takes some figuring.
 * If I can figure out how to make it so if a user follows a link on a search engine
   to any givin page with in my WP and have that page and the user be automaticaly
   redirected to my main page with the frameset and the page they need ta see sittin
   all pretty like in the mainframe…then…well….I FRIKIN RULE!!!!!!!!!
 * sept…it’s not workin 🙁
