be no problem - your sessions and log in should work.
When you submit your framed page is the whole frameset being replaced
(perhaps by an errant "target="_top" or forgotten framebuster code)? In
your case it sounds like only your content frame should be changed, not
the outside frame.

Subject: URGENT! Frames and sessions
All,
I am being forced by an organization higher up the food chain to now
only grant access to certain parts of our corporate external site via
frameset.
It's a domain name thing, they don't want us using ours anymore
(www.esca.com) despite years of brand recognition in our industry.
So here's the issue. many of the parts of the site they want accessed
through the frameset are password protected and access is granted by
reading a cookie value set from my site.
Now, I did a bit of research because of the obvious third party cookie
issues caused by frames, and I found that session management is
"compatible" with frames (sort of). I set up a test and found that if I
access it directly (www.esca.com/blah url ) everything works fine
session variable initiate and expire as requested, but if I access it
via frames, the login doesn't work.
What am I missing? Does the session have to be init'ed on the outside
frame? If so can I init the session with _javascript_ and then write to it
with CF? I don't have control of the outside frame, it's hosted in
England, but if I need to I can probably get something added there.
The external frame is being handled in the OpenMarket CMS and my site is
all CFMX.
Please help!
