Frame inside frame

G

Guest

I want to link a contents frrame to open in the default main of the banner
frame.
BUT it will not open to the default main of the contents frame it opens in
the default mani of the banner frame. Any ideas as what I can do?
Or have I totally confused you and myself.

Yes, I am almost totally confused.

And I use frames :)

My index.html page is this
<frameset rows="84,*">
<noframes>
To view this document, you need a frames-compatible browser such as
Netscape 2.0 and above.
</noframes>

<frame src="heading.html" name="heading" scrolling="no"
noresize="noresize">
<frameset cols="145,*">
<frame src="sidebar.html" name="sidebar" scrolling="yes"
noresize="noresize">
<frame src="index_main.html" name="index_main" scrolling="yes"
noresize="noresize">
</frameset>
</frameset>

To open a page in one of the frames, you need to quote the frame name
e.g. <a href = "about.html" target="index_main">

If I were to use target ="heading" or "sidebar" I wouldn't get a good
result, because the frame will open in the top area (very shallow) or the
side area (very narrow )

Are you setting the frame target value of the hyperlink to the exact name of the frame that you want
the link to open in?
