Target Frame

Thomas A. Rowe

If the frame is named "main" why are you creating the target value as "_main"?

I have a frame page named "main", I have a navigation tree and when the link gets clicked, I want
the result to show up in that frame, but it is not cooperating. For an example:

Oh, so I guess I just name the target "main" eh? It was just that when I pick an whole new page etc, it shows up as _blank, or parent frame is _parent, so I guess I just assumed I needed to do the _main thing. Do I just hyperlink, pick target frame and type in "main" then? Thank you in advance by the way for your quick response just now. I will be waiting for your response. Sindee

Yes, just type in main.

The _top, _parent are special target values the browser understands.

Thank you so much for your help...one more thing :(

I split my frames, I wanted to put my main frame in the center and my link menu on the right. When I upload the page, I can only see the main window, the second frame is invisible....any ideas? Thank you! Sindee

Thank you...that worked. One more thing though :(

I split my frame page so I have two seperate windows. One window is my main target, the other is my link menu. When I up load it only the main one shows, the other frame is invisible. Any ideas? Thank you! Sindee

Did you create the frameset page from the File Menu | New | Page | Frames and select the correct
template?

Illegal and invalid framset code

You have
<frameset framespacing="0" border="0" frameborder="0" cols="*,29%">
<frameset cols="*">
<frameset cols="*">
<frameset cols="*">
<frameset cols="*">
<frameset cols="*">
<frameset rows="*">
<frame name="main" scrolling="no" src="http://www.sunnyutah.com/newspapers.htm">
</frameset>
</frameset>
</frameset>
</frameset>
</frameset>
</frameset>
<frame src="quick_search.htm" scrolling="no" name="quick">
</frameset>

And only need
<frameset framespacing="0" border="0" frameborder="0" cols="*,29%">
<frame name="main" src="http://www.sunnyutah.com/newspapers.htm">
<frame src="quick_search.htm" name="quick">
</frameset>

Note: you also need a scroll bar since you content exceeds most user screens

IMHO
I have no idea why you are even attempting to use frames, especially w/ your DHTML menus and the fact that the quick_search.htm page is the same as your Quick Search table in newspapers.htm

Okay, my site is a tad complicated, it dawned on me that I could use frames to accomplish what I want with my site. My real intentions are to put the quick search table in a frame section of its own and then have the results show up in my main frame. therefore taking the quick search table off each individual htm page. Am I making any sense? Maybe I should just recreate the whole frames page and start over? I am new at frames...sorry.

You could try that approach, but frames have many pitfalls you should consider before you go that way - most of the time they are
only effective if you also create proper noframes pages
(bookmarks are not possible to link to, search engines can't index them correctly, dhtml / layout / layer issues, etc.)


IMHO
You can also drop the multiple worthless no right click scripts
- they do nothing useful
- they slow down those trying to help you
- view source bypasses it
What are you trying to protect?

lol, I am not trying to protect anything, the protection came with the classified ad script I bought. All I am really trying to accomplish is this: I am trying to somehow incorporate my classified script into my design. If you go to:

http://www.sunnyutah.com/cgi-bin/classifieds/classifieds.cgi you will see that the only thing I can incorporate is my heading. I would like to frame it so I can place banners for advertisers and links to the rest of my website on that script page, but it is untouchable, the script came with no htm plates, they want to charge me 175.00 per hour to make it so I can get it customized with the rest of my site, so I thought hey...if I can frame this puppy I can do the rest my self. Thanx!

Has nothing to do w/ your CGI
It's the script you have starting with

<script language="JavaScript1.1">
<!--
// Disable Right clicks

In the HEAD section of your pages

As for the CGI page - that would be a good candidate for framing w/ a simple top frame (you main site top level links) if they allow
that
