linking to a framed site Options

[SaladGoat]

There is a website that was made some time ago with frames. It's a hobby site, so the person has no interest in putting in all the time to re-do it properly.

From time to time, I find something on that site that I would like to link to from my site, but linking to the page shows only that page and not the menu, which is in a frame.

I'd like to set a link that opens the whole frameset, with the menu in the left frame and the content I am linking to in the right frame.

I feel like I remember seeing a way to do this many years ago, but maybe I am mistaken? Anyway, if this is possible, please let me know how.

Thanks!

That requires the frameset website to be designed in special ways, see https://htmlhelp.com/faq/html/frames.html#frame-address

It can also be somewhat fixed with JavaScript which requires a few lines of JS in each page. But I think the point here is that you can't do anything about it. It must be done from the site in question.
