frame weirdness

I run an email site that is giving me fits right now. I have a navigation frame with buttons at the top, and my content goes in the main frame below it. I use everyone.net as my actual mail provider, but it is causing a problem. If you have an everyone.net page open in the content frame, and click on a button (on the top frame) that leads to a page back in my domain, it launches the page in a new window rather than in the frame. Is there anyway to fix this so that does not happen anymore???
 
if you want the link to your domain to replace the framed pages in the current window, try adding a target="_top" to your anchor otherwise you could try a target="_self".
The only dumb questions are the ones that are never asked
 
My button links are already targeted to the frame name. In this case the top frame is called "navbar" and the content frame is called "bigmain" I have a target already set from each button (target="bigmain"). Does it matter if the lower frame has other frames inside it? I think that is the case here... how can I get around this?
