I was tempted to say you just wouldn't do that, then remembered all the times I've used the URL of the contents frame as a reference document (for example, the URL reference in the message you responded to). It would make sense to display NOFRAMES when no frames have been set, but that isn't current browser behavior. If you use server-side scripting you can have the contents document load the parent navigation frameset if the requestor UA is frame-enabled and include inline navigation if not. Then you don't have to worry about any NOFRAMES stuff. If a framesetting URL is requested by a noframes browser, deliver the default contents document with navigation included. David Perrell
