I would like to make links on my main page that opens a new browser window. The link will be to a website that uses frames. This website that I will link to has a top frame which contains links for navigation as well as a main frame at the bottom that the links in the navigation target. For example, this is how the index.html page of the page that I will link to looks:
(File called index.html)
<HTML>
<FRAMESET ROWS="20%,80%">
<frame src=http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/"navigation.html">
<frame src="main.html" NAME="bottom">
</FRAMESET>
</HTML>
This means that when I link to the page, the top frame will contain navigation.html and the bottom will contain main.html.
Is there a way that I can make a link to this main page and specify that a different html page appear in the bottom frame other than "main.html"? (For example, I don't want the user to have to click on a link to the index page then have to click on the "ABOUT" link to get to the about page. I would like to make a direct link to the "ABOUT" page.)
I know that if I made a link such as:
<A href=http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/"index.html">The Page</A>
When I click on the above link, I will see a page with the navigation in the top frame and the main page in the bottom such as:
-------------------------------------------------------
MAIN ABOUT PAGE2 (top frame)
------------------------------------------------------
THE MAIN PAGE (Bottom Frame)
Is there a way I can make a link to the index.html and specify a that different page appears in the bottom frame other than main.html? For example, can I make a link that goes directly to the "ABOUT" page and still make it have the Nvaigation frame at the top such as:
-------------------------------------------------------
MAIN ABOUT LINKS (top frame)
------------------------------------------------------
ABOUT PAGE (Bottom Frame)
Thanks for any advice. I apologize if my question is unclear.
If this requires javascript, something such as:
<A HREF="javascript:void(window.open('index.html', 'Window'))">
would suit my purposes the best. Thank you for any suggestions.
