frames and searchengines

[Sjakie]

Hi,

I made a website for the band I play in with frames.

I know I know, you'll probably will say, don't work with frames! But I did.

Now I noticed that Google crawled one of the frames in the search results and you will get a page without the menu etc.

Is it something I have to live with or is there a solution for that besides working without frames?

Check if the page loads in a frame or not. If not have it reload with the frames and with that requested page in the frame.

Sorry, forgot how to do this.

Hi, thanks for your help but I absolutely don't understand what you are talking about.

[EverlastingGod]

Your page, lets call it page A, should be able to detect if it was loaded inside a frame or not. If page A detects that it wasn't opened within a frame, open the frameset page with the page A loaded in the proper frame.

All right, I understand you now. :)

And there is a code for this but you don't remember it right?
I'll try Google for that.

Thanks!

I searched around for the code but I can't find it. Does anybody knows where I can?

try something like

if (window.top == window.self){
window.location.href = "TheFramedDocument.html";
window.frames[TheFrameInWhichTheOriginalCrawledDocumentAppears].location.href = "TheCrawledDocument.html";
}

Works fine. Thanks. :)
