Frames stink: Providing links to old articles

Postby Magilla Gorilla » May 20th, 2004, 3:33 pm

Hi there,

I'm not sure if this is the right forum for my gripe, but I'll post anyhow. Please feel free to move as appropriate.

I get questions from a lot of newbies on chemistry. My favorite place to go to answer these questions is Randy's articles in Advanced Aquarist. I go to the archives to find the right article. I want to copy a link so I can send it in email or post on one of the boards. But when I click on the correct article, the URL always just points to the index because of the darn frame to the left.
Can you get rid of the frame, or provide a URL in the index so that I may post a direct link to the article in question?
Thanks,
Magilla

What I've always done is the following:

IE: Once the page comes up, right click on it and select Properties and then copy that URL from the popup.

Mozilla/Firefox: Once the page comes up, right click on it and select This Frame --> Show Only This Frame and then copy the URL from the address bar.

Not the most elegant way to do it but it gets the job done.
