hello guys, i am oneleggedjockey, i am having a mare with a sidemenu bar. Right, down to the nitty gritty, i am using frames on my main index home page, i have a side menu, and a main home page in the right hand window. When you click on the links in the menu page, the link opens in the same window, ergo showing you the page in a 250 pixel wide pane! I have tried normal html pages with links, and also i have resorted to creating an image map to do the dirty work, but again, it is still happening. Am i missing something here??? I have had a look at the javascript for opening new windows, but can only see it for buttons, not clicking on images?!? Please someone help, my page is <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.rockonline.co.uk">http://www.rockonline.co.uk</a><!-- m --> and the actual problem page is <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://dougieanscombe.tripod.com/sidemenu.html">http://dougieanscombe.tripod.com/sidemenu.html</a><!-- m -->, which is where u can view the code<br />
<br />
Cheers for all the advice guys, <br />

<!--content-->First off, what you must do is name your frames, I see the source and i see that you don't<br />
<br />
<br />
<frameset cols="250,*"><br />
<frame src=http://www.htmlforums.com/archive/index.php/"sidemenu.html" marginwidth=0 marginheight=0><br />
<frame src=http://www.htmlforums.com/archive/index.php/"index2.html" marginwidth=0 marginheight=0><br />
</frameset><br />
<br />
<br />
add a name="" to them like this<br />
<br />
<br />
<frameset cols="250,*"><br />
<frame src=http://www.htmlforums.com/archive/index.php/"sidemenu.html" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" name="left"><br />
<frame src=http://www.htmlforums.com/archive/index.php/"index2.html" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" name="right"><br />
</frameset><br />
<br />
<br />
Then in your imagemap, do a target="" command. Heres an example off your site<br />
<br />
<area shape="rect" alt="members" coords="39,87,227,122" href=http://www.htmlforums.com/archive/index.php/"http://dougieanscombe.tripod.com/members.html" title="click for the members area" target="_blank" /><br />
