Hi all, New guy to this so sorry in advance.. just wondering if anyone knows how to go about setting that up? Address bar in framea that will open whatever site in frameb. I then want to be able to set up a search in framea to search whatever page they opened in frameb.. if anyone knows that one too...

Whatever is in the address bar will be shown in the window (all frame(s)). This is one of the bad / good things about using frames.

You cannot expect to see http://www.example.com in the address bar and have a completely different website shown.

You could "frame" the one page
Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Frameset//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/frameset.dtd">

<html>

<head>
<meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="Content-Type">
<title>Untitled 3</title>
</head>

<frameset cols="150,*">
<frame name="contents" target="main" src="/index.html">
<frame name="main" src="http://www.example.com">
<noframes>
<body>

<p>This page uses frames, but your browser doesn't support them.</p>

</body>
</noframes>
</frameset>

</html>
But that is about it. Then of course if the page has a JS to break frames, this probably will not work either.
