If I understand what you are trying to do, and you
want to do it all client-side, then I think you'll 
need to pass the HTML page and anchor name you want 
loaded in the frameset as a variable, and have JS
in the frameset doc parse out the "framedpage.htm#dest"
value and load it into the desired frame.

So off the top of my head (i.e. untested):

http://yourserver.com/yourframesetparentfile.htm?pagetoload=framedpage.htm#dest

The frameset would have to do something like:

var url = unescape(location.search.split('=')[1]);
document.frames.mycoolframe.window.location=url;

Again, this is off the top of my head, so make sure you
get the syntax right, etc.

Good luck,
