How to use target in Frameset?

longmatch · Apr 17, 2002

I just start to design a website using frameset with 3 frames, named title, menu, and main. I have hot link in menu frame. I would like to display my new page in main frame when I double click the link in the menu. I used target to do that. It always give me a new window, could not present the new page in main frame. WHY?

Please see the code.

<FRAMESET ROWS= "20%, *" BORDER=4>

<frameset COLS="20%, *" BORDER=10>
<frame NAME="Menu" SRC="Menu.htm" SCROLLING = no>
<frame NAME="Main" SRC="MainPage.html">

Worked ok for me. I am assuming that was the actual code. It is important to use the same case in the target. For example if frame name is "MAIN", a target of "Main" would not work.

HTH,

I fixed your code up a bit. You had some extra spaces, and you didn't have quotations for some things. I tried this out and it seems to work for me:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<META NAME="GENERATOR" Content="Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0">
<TITLE></TITLE>
</HEAD>
<FRAMESET ROWS="20%,*" BORDER="4" BORDERCOLOR="BLACK">
<FRAME NAME="Title" SRC="title.html" SCROLLING="NO">
<FRAMESET COLS="20%,*" BORDER="10">
<FRAME NAME="Menu" SRC="Menu.html" SCROLLING="NO">
<FRAME NAME="Main" SRC="MainPage.html">
</FRAMESET>
</FRAMESET>
</HTML>

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<META NAME="GENERATOR" Content="Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0">
<TITLE></TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<TABLE WIDTH="75%" BORDER="0" CELLSPACING="1" CELLPADDING="1">
<TR>
<TD><A HREF="RegisterPage.asp" TARGET="Main"><B>NEW USER</B></A></TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD><A HREF="LoginPage.asp"><B>LOG IN</B></A></TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD><A HREF="Logout.asp"><B>LOG OUT</B></A></TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD></TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
</BODY>
</HTML>

Hope this helps!!!
