big wrapper so that no one sees my URL
on my end I don't have any frames, just CF templates that set a session
variable after a login. If I access the pages directly, everything works
as it should, however If I access the pages via the frameset, logging in
only brings up the login page.
Perhaps it is something on my end, but I don't see what.
how to access the frameset:
www.tde.alstom.com
click User Groups in the blue area at left
how to access the page directly:
www.esca.com/usergroups
