I have a .php site with frames and in the center frame, I have linked to a .cgi classified advertising script using a "includes" script code. When I try to click on one of the links in the classified section of the center frame, I leave the .php index page and go straight to the .cgi classified link that I selected.

How do I code it so that when I click on a link in the center frame of the .cgi script, it goes there while maintaining the .php script surrounding that window?

Hope I didn't confuse anyone and if you need clarification on anything, please ask so I can figure this out.

Thanks in advance...

u would ave given names to the frames.. (frames ave names to them for target linking purpose)

so in your link code say

<a href="file.cgi" target="that particular frame name">aaas</a>

and it will not break out the frames setup u ave..

That didn't work at all for me or at least the way I did it.

Take a look at my site here if you don't mind but note that I just combined two sites this morning so I have to edit out alot of stuff I don't need there.

My Site Under Construction

where are the frames?? dont c any in the source?

just say in the head part

<base target="urframe name">

for that particular frame's html..

Well, maybe frames is not the right word and sorry, I'm only a beginner at coding. This .php script links the left, right, bottom and top areas using this format:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="php">
include "www.myurl.com";
</SCRIPT

All I did was add this same script language in the middle of this .php index page to link to my .cgi classifieds script url. I have no clue other than that. I know I'm asking alot so I appreciate everything so far.

Any more idea's?

Ahh..

let me get it right..

the place where i c the classifieds is the cgi script and the surrounding are php ones..

and when someone clicks on the link in the classifieds, u want to retain the outer design aspects ie the top,right, bottom and left of the classfieds..

then in tat case u need ave a template setup with the design aspects you want and then run the cgi script.

i c u r using eclassifeds.

i ave not used it.. but like most programs they should ave a customize feature in the admin section.

use that to customise it to your needs..

if u think u will not be able to do that.. find a coder who will do it for u for a charge..

hope this helps..

You are correct in what I was trying to do an I will look again at the files to see where I can customize it. Thanks...
