Forcing a new page to open in the right frame

[xlbo]

Hi all, got a bit of a problem which seems to have me beat.

I have what I call a double frames page - ie mainpage has 2 frames - header and main. Main is then made up of 3 further frames - messages, contents and info

I have a navbar set up with links to a reports suite and the default target for the header page (with the navbar) is "Main". Have checked the frameset statements and the frame is called "Main" and the header is set for base target = "Main"

In frontpage, in preview mode, this all works fine - click on a button in the navbar and the report shows in "Main"

However, when I try this in IE5, I click on a button in the navbar and the report opens up fullscreen so the navbar no longer displays. I've tried everything that I can think of but can't seem to lick it. Any help / suggestions would be much appreciated

TIA
Geoff

try adding the following to each of your links in the navbar:

<A HREF=&quot;yourpage.htm&quot; TARGET=&quot;Main&quot;>Your Link</A>

Thanks for the quick response but the navbar is just a standard frontapge creation and you can't alter the links like that - it seems to be all internal coded ie the HTML just calls an internal set of code. The only HTML that can be seen is :
<!--webbot bot=&quot;Navigation&quot; S-Type=&quot;sequence&quot; S-Orientation=&quot;horizontal&quot; S-Rendering=&quot;graphics&quot; B-Include-Home=&quot;FALSE&quot; B-Include-Up=&quot;FALSE&quot; U-Page=&quot;sid:1001&quot; S-Theme=&quot;eistheme 110&quot;
Thanks

Have sorted the problem. Apparently IE doesn't like frames within frames and threw what can only be described as &quot;a bit of a fit&quot;. Anyway, I had to adjust the links to an interim page with a coupla lines of JS to direct the actual page as to where to open
