frames problem

[sandeepmur]

Hi, I have a problem with my frames and unable to comprehend whats wrong..

When the site (index.htm) is loaded, it is a page with a frame called home.asp

When home.asp loads it has navigational links on the left and content on the right.

Clicking any link on the left loads another page which has 3 frames in it. A left frame for navigation links and 2 frames on the right for header and body.

The first time any link is clicked in the left frame, loads the page correctly in the right BUT on cliking another link, pops up a new window and loads that page in it.. All links in the left frame have their target set correctly.

Any suggestions as to what appears wrong ? hope the above was clear..
thnx,

frames are crap is the best answer.

why on earth are you using something as disliked and outdated as frames, when you can use ASP includes for a far far simpler solution?

if it opens in a new window then the frame is not there, u may have wrongly redirected to another frame, this happens if the browser is unable to find the frame specified in its target attribute...

I have to use frames as per the client´s wishes..

The frame to which I am targetting is the same as home.asp

Ok, take a look at

http://www.altran.pt

and u will find out the problem. clik any link on the left and when the new page loads, clik again any 2 links in the left frame.

thnx

Looking at the links, they point to a target="accuiel" yet looking at your frameset none of the frames is named accuiel the suspected frame carries the name txt. Do you think that could cause the problem?

the thing is if I replace the name "txt" with "accueil", It loads the pages in the right frame but not just the content but the entire page along with navigation bar!

Further, I thought it was sufficient if I place a target="accueil" in the <a href > links.

Hi,

I figure I have found out whats wrong.. If you load the site as

http://www.altran.pt/index.htm

and then navigate the links, everything works great and the pages load fine in the right frame BUT if the site is loaded as

http://www.altran.pt

Sobre nos), the url changes to

http://www.altran.pt/aboutus_fs.htm

Now when another link is clicked, it get loaded into a different browser window..

Is there some way to make the url load with index.htm such that when someone type

http://www.altran.pt,

http://www.altran.pt/index.htm

is loaded ??

thnx
