Buttons open page in different frames

[Guest]

Hi! I am new to frontpage. I need to have a button in 1 frame and when you click on it, a new page pops up in another frame. I am using the banner and contents template page. I want the frame with the button to stay there but the main frame to change to what the buttons hyperlink is. Can you help? Thanks!

It should do that by default if you have the buttons in the left (contents)
frame of the banner and contents template.
If you open the page in code view (or Frames Page code view in older FP
versions), your frames page should have something like this in it:
<frameset rows="64,*">
<frame name="banner" scrolling="no" noresize target="contents">
<frameset cols="150,*">
<frame name="contents" target="main" src="your_page_name.htm">
<frame name="main">
</frameset>
<noframes>

The target tag is what makes it happen.

What other browser are you trying to use for this? Some of them do not
support frames.

Yes, it seems preview mode is not what it used to be. I'm not sure if that
ever worked in preview mode though. I don't remember.

I just wanted to click on the links when I previewed the pages using the

preview tab but it did not work. So I selected "Preview in Browser" IE 6.0
and everything worked. I am very new to this so I just wanted to make sure
my buttons worked correctly. Looks like they do when I go into this view but
not if I just preview from Frontpage itself (if I click the button in
preview mode there the whole page pops up and not in the correct frame. It
does appear in the correct frame though by previewing in the browser IE 6.0

Being able to click links in Preview review in FrontPage was intentionally disabled by a recent
security update to Internet Explorer.

There's some info and a fix here:
