    Red face Targeting a remote frameset and loading with specific page

    OK, here's a doosey...

    Here's one way to explain what I am looking for:
    I want a link from non-frameset page A to target a 2-frame frameset B and load a specific page in the lower frame.
    Here's another way:
    I want my non-frame homepage.html to have different links on it that go to different pages that appear in frameset.html.
    The farthest I have gotten is to target the frameset the standard way, but it will only show the pages that I specified originally in frameset.html. I've searched all over for a javascript solution but haven't found it.

    I have to use frames because the content that I wish to display in the lower frame is content from another domain.

    I'm pretty sure this is impossible because it was near impossible to explain. Some reassurance would be much appreciated.

    I just tested out a frameset. As long as it was already in its own window, I found that I could target its frames by name from a regular page in another window, examples -

    On the frameset page:

    HTML Code:
      <frame name="frameName" src ="" frameborder="1">
    On the regular page:

    HTML Code:
    <a href="http://www.google.com" target="frameName">Google</a>
