Frames - open new frame set in same window 1

[shetlandbob]

Hi,

I have a set of frames which is loaded with the following:

<Frameset FRAMEBORDER=0 BORDER=0 BORDERCOLOR="000066" FRAMESPACING=0 cols="21%,*">
  <Frame name="left" src="left.html">
  <Frameset FRAMEBORDER=0 BORDER=0 BORDERCOLOR="000066" FRAMESPACING=0 rows="60,*" >
    <Frame name="top" src="top.html" scrolling="no" noresize>
    <Frame name="right" src="intro.html">
  </Frameset>
  </Frameset>
</Frameset>

This is fine for the main pages I have. However I have one link which I'd like to open another set of frames, i.e. the above code is in index.html. I'd like to open for example index2.html which has its own frameset, left, right, top etc.... in the same window?

Any idea how I could do this?

Thanks in advance.

Create your frameset as index2.html and link to it like this:

<a href="index2.html" target="_blank">Click here</a>

This will open up index2.html in a blank window, and your frameset should load.

Cheers,
Jeff

I suggest you don't open a new window but rather do what you want with:

<a href="index2.html" target="_top">Click here</a>

Vragabond's suggestion is better. I didn't quite understand what you were after, and after reading his post I totally recommend using _top over _blank.

Cheers,
