Back-button after loading multiple frames

I am using the following to update 3 frames when a button is pressed:

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function load(){
top.data.location="login.html"
top.menu.location="menu_selected.html"
top.collage.location="collage_selected.html"
}
//-->
</script>

It works OK, but when the user presses the back-button on his browser he needs to press 3 times before all 3 frames have been updated with the old value.

Is there any way to make one press of the back-button update all 3 frames to the old pages?

In order to prevent this, you have to use the "replace" method to fill the other frames apart from the main/data one...

frames[name].location.replace('url') replaces the content of a given frame with the new url without adding to the history list.

I think the best way - at least that's how I do it - to navigate in a framed site is to link only between the content frames of each page and let every page reload its own navigational frames &cetera "on load" by using the "replace" method. If you do so, the back/forward buttons are fully operational regardless of the numer of frames used in you site.

Just modify you script like this:

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function load(){
top.data.location.replace("login.html");
top.menu.location.replace("menu_selected.html");
top.collage.location.replace("collage_selected.html");
}
//-->
</script>

I hope this helps...

Hmm question?

Does this code go into your frameset? and how do you initialize it. Is it an onload in the body tag?

also, if you are using

top.name.location.replace("");

is that the same as

name.location.replace("");

Thank,
