/FrameSet - DTML Method ..... XXX - How can I negate this? IE. <dtml-if "not section"> <dtml-unless section> <dtml-if section> <dtml-else> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('section', '/ViewFrame')"> </dtml-if section>

XXX - I do not think calling REQUEST.set() is the best way to accomplish this. What is a better way? It is ineffective, as you do not use "topframe" later (in *this* request). <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('topframe', '1')">

<frameset rows="60,75,*"> <frame name="title_frame" src="&dtml-absolute_url;/TitleFrame"> <frame name="banner_frame" src="&dtml-absolute_url;/BannerFrame"> <frame name="view_frame" src="&dtml-absolute_url;&dtml-section;"> </frameset> .....

XXX - I can not get this to work at all. Topframe should be set or true if the visitor arrived in the /Files Folder from the top level frameset and /Files/ViewFrame will be loaded into the view_frame target. The frameset and its frames parts are fetched in *different* requests. The "REQUEST.set" only affects the REQUEST object for the frameset. The REQUEST objects for the frame components are not affected.

You have two options: * a session product (there are some around on zope.org) it allows you to save information across web requests * passing the additional information through a query string key=value pair (do not forget to "url_quote_plus")

XXX - If this method is called from the top level FrameSet method, how to I access dir and file from the original request? see above.
