When I click the back button on my webpage, the browser only reverses the content in the frames. Is it possible with jscript or something to specify that the backbutton need only apply to the parent page?

it might be better if you link us to the page so that we could get a clear vision of what you mean.

It's best if you link to the frameset you desire, but for back buttons you can use a script like:

onClick="history.go(-1)"

OH wait, I think I see what you mean. And no, the browser's back button operates independantly of your eb-pages content. This cannot be controlled by the designer.

My oppinion, Try and avoid frames they are a pain in the ***!
