Home link in page using frames

windows · Jan 9, 2008

Having a problem now that I have put links at the bottom of each of my pages to allow navigation around the site. Specifically on the one page in my site that uses frames, a "Home" at the bottom of the page loads the home and any subsequent pages inside the "secondary" window. How do I deal with this and clear the frames from the window so that any other links that are clicked on are shown in full screen format? 
 
Help this newbie out ladies and gents. If you are interested in seeing the site, it's at <a class="postlink" href="http://www.pleasuregroove.com">www.pleasuregroove.com</a>. This is my first attempt at writing a web page so cut me some slack!

Like this: 
<a href=http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/"http://www.pleasuregroove.com/index.html" target="_parent" >Home</a>Thanks. That worked perfectly! I put that into the largewindow.html file and also each of the members bio pages that are selected on the left frame. Everything works great now.
