Preview pane and frame focus

I have a frameset with 3 frames, a header, a view, a preview pane. Focus is set on the header frame.

I would like the preview pane to always open to a page until a document is selected in the view. However, the preview pane is always opening the first document in the view.

I understand the behavior, but I’m wondering if there is a trick to making it work the way I would like.

Thanks in advance.
