Discarding frames?

[sderose]

Lots of siites have the "real" info in a big central frame, with others on some or all 4 sides that mostly have boilerplate: ads, a table of contents, site-map links, etc. It would be very helpful to have a way to just get the "main" frame (say, the biggest), and discard the rest. Especially, this would help because the other frames are probably filled with many many links that you don't want followed, and that will blow up the download time and final document size.

thanks!

If you are talking about HTML frames (as opposed to tables) and it is the case that when you clicking on a link in the main frame it updates only the main frame, then just specify the URL of the page in that frame rather the URL that holds the frameset. You'd have to look at the properties of the frame in your browser or look at the frameset HTML source to determine the URL of the page in the frame you want.
