Ok so I got it setup but I cant get the page to load on the right. It loads where i have my sidebar and i have no clue how to fix it.<br />
If you want me to post the code i can.<!--content-->make sure the right frame has a name. lets call it blah for now.<br />
<br />
from the left frame, the links must have target="blah" in the <a> tag.<!--content-->where do i put the target on the page for the right?<br />
and for the left it should look like this?:<br />
<a href=http://www.htmlforums.com/archive/index.php/"frame.htm"><img src="home.gif"><TARGET=frame.htm/a><br><!--content--><a href=http://www.htmlforums.com/archive/index.php/"newpage.html" target="NameOfOtherFrame"><br />
text or image here<br />
</a><!--content-->ok i did that<br />
nothing happens... it still does it...<br />
how do i name the right side or what else should i do?<!--content-->in the main frames page (the ones with the frameset) make sure the <frame> tag for the right side has an attribute "name" like this:<br />
<br />
<frame name="blah" src=http://www.htmlforums.com/archive/index.php/"startingpage.html"><br />
<br />
and the links on the left frame would be like this:<br />
<br />
<a href=http://www.htmlforums.com/archive/index.php/"newpage.html" target="blah">Link Text</a><br />
<br />
<br />
If all this doesn't work, post your browser type and version so i can check it out.<!--content-->also post a link to the site in question. thanks.<!--content-->i will put up the site later tonight as i am going out right now<!--content-->Here is the link to the site...<br />

<br />
<a href=http://www.htmlforums.com/archive/index.php/"about.htm" target="rightframe"><img src="about.gif"></a><br><br />
<br />
NOT this:<br />
<br />
<a href=http://www.htmlforums.com/archive/index.php/"about.htm" TARGER="about1.htm"><img src="about.gif"></a><br><br />
<br />
The above doesn't open in the 'right' frame because you have your target set so that it opens in 'about1.htm', which doesn't exist(plus you have a typo
). So if you apply what I showed you above, then the rest of the links should work, and open in the correct target.<br />
<br />
Hope this helps you a little.<br />
<br />
P.S. You might want to have a look at this to increase your understanding about frames:<br />
