LINKS WILL NOT OPEN IN THE SPECIFIED 'TARGET FRAME'

ARRRRRRRRRR · Nov 24, 2007

Hi,

I have produced a website with multiple frames. The top one contains a navgation bar, where the links should open up in the frame below. I have specified the target frame for the links as that frame (called contentframe), but they still open up as a new window, leaving the original window unaltered. The nearest thing i can get to this working how i want it to is by setting the target frame to '_self', which opens up the link in the frame containg the navbar (which is not good!). Have i missed something - i have had working navbars of a similar spec in other websites that have worked fine, so im not sure whats happened)

Any suggestions??

Much as I despise frames, this should be relatively easy to do.

Code:

<html>

<frameset cols="120,*">

<frame src="nav.htm">
<frame src="content.htm" [b]name="contentframe"[/b]>

</frameset>
</html>

You must have the name defined.

Code:

<html>
<body>
<a href ="content.htm" [b]target ="contentframe"[/b]>Frame a</a><br>
<a href ="content_b.htm" [b]target ="contentframe"[/b]>Frame b</a><br>
<a href ="content_c.htm" [b]target ="contentframe"[/b]>Frame c</a>
</body>
</html>

This working example adapted from the w3schools Web site.
