Loading a specific page within frame from...

[M.Siler]

Have page 1 which has 5 links on it. When you click on link 1 it will load a
frame page where the main area of the frame will load content for 1. When
you click on link 2 it will load a the same frame page but the main area
will need to load content for 2. Link 3 will load content for 3, etc.

How do I link to the frame page and then make the main area load a specific
page?

Hope I explained this ok.

I think you are going about this the wrong way ... because it sound like you want to loading the
same frameset for each link but with a different page.

When the frame page loads for the first time, all links on the initial navigation page, should have
a frame target value of "main" so that each link replaces the current page in "main".

I've got that. The problem is that our "Welcome" page has a menu that looks
like one that's going to be in the frame pages, but is really a graphic.
Therefore if they select menu item 1 I need to load the Frame and the page
to go in the "main" section needs to have content related the selected menu
item 1. If they select menu item 2 from the "Welcome" page I need to load
the Frame and the page to go in the "main" section needs to have content
related to the selected menu item 2. Etc... I know it sounds strange.

Once the Frame page is loaded then the "normal" way of loading the pages
with the targe tag will work fine. It's just the first time.

Then you are going to have to use JavaScript to build dynamic framesets, see:

Why don't you have your Welcome page be your frameset not
some graphic of it? At startup, the main section of the
frame set could contain your welcoming message. Your menu
section could contain your various menu options and
control other content loaded into your main section.
