Is there a way to use Frames to create header for external site(Without it redirecting a parent)

[Astroboy]

I have a client who is looking to make some modifications to their
site to make it look more up to speed.

One of the things which I thought maybe more feasible was to create a
Frames header so they can still use their old e-commerce. Which would
save allot of intensive labour having to migrate hundreds.

I created two example where I created a top image frame. However, in
the code of the webstore, it seems like their is some javascript code
to refresh itself and take over the Parent page. So it eliminates the
header.

Is there any way around this?

You can see my examples at the following links

(After you go the the splash page it'll take you to the IFRAME and the
header)

- This uses TRADITIONAL frames...but still no luck

First, and foremost, ditch the tables and intro page.
For what I see, I'd have a simple two column display with header.
The left column would bear the menu. As shown on this page

If that's your work, I'd stick with it.
I don't think a frame set would serve a purpose. On the "home" page,
display more information about the business.

Hi Astroboy,

Remove this bit of javascript from the bottom of your source code and you'll
be fine...

<script type="text/javascript"> if (top.location != self.location) {
top.location = self.location; } </script>

Hope this helps

Hi guys.

thanks for the advice.

Unfortunately I would remove that part of the code of modify the look
of the store if I had access to the server.

However, this is an external site which the webhost doesn't allow me
to control the code. Since they provide e-commerce stores to
retailers....Hence why I was trying to make a frame header.
