Hello
i was wondering if its possible in html (from an email) to have 1 link to open a framed site (lets say 3 frames, top , main and left) and also open in the mainframe a desired url…
like:
open [blah.com](http://blah.com) and open in the mainframe of [blah.com](http://blah.com) [bleh.com](http://bleh.com).

well its not that simple…
imagine you receive an email… In the text, you have underlined words and depending on the word you click, it open the site and the right page in the mainframe without affecting the other frames… any ideas?

if you have, say 4 diff pages that will show in mainframe…
make 4 diff framesets, then link to those framesets from the email.
then the user will see the desired info, inthe correct form.

do you mean i create 4 index like index1.html index2.html …
and link to each depending on the link i click from my email?
cause the thing is, that email can change and have new links depending of the page and it would be too much hassle to recreate every time a new frameset/index… is that what you mean?
