What you would want to do then is send the first page's url to the
index.html frameset. The code I would use instead of your code above is:

<scrip>
if (self.name != "main" || self == parent)
    top.location.href = "/index.html?main=" + self.location.href;
</script>

Put that script on your pages that are supposed to be in the "main" frame.
It appends the current url to the query string of the destination url. Then
put this script at the bottom of index.html, after the framesets have been
defined:

<script>
if (self.location.search.indexOf('?main=') == 0)
    self.main.location.href = self.location.search.substring(6);
</script>

This extracts everything after "main=" and uses that as the url for the fram
named "main".
