Need server-side solution to linking in frames

[Pablo]

Dear all,

I am doing some maintainance in a JSP website which has been built
using frames (and I cannot remove that unfortunately).

So, I have 4 frames (top, and 3 vertical frames underneath the top).
The frame on the left is supposed to be for navigation, but when I
click on some navigation items, I am enforced to set the target to the
own navigation frame, because I need to do some other processing
(which I cannot avoid), and in the end I am using some javascript code
to change the location of the center frame (which in an ideal case
would be the target of the link on the navigation).

Does anyone know a way to avoid the javascript? Is there anyway that I
can load 2 different urls in 2 different frames via a single link? The
first URL is just a different set of parameters to the navigation
menu, and the second URL is the target of the navigation.

Best regards,
Pablo

That is unfortunate.

How about.. link to a single new ..
framedpagess.jsp&param=value
..that in turn loads the altered navigation and content pages.

That's a better than what I have now, however I will still require
javascript to load the links, which would generate other 2 requests
(and they are really slow)...
Thanks for the tip anyways!
