Using Frames - but Lose the Frame 1

JohnBates · Jan 3, 2003

Hi HTML experts,

I'm using a left-side column (20 % wide) to list several links. The frame displays, no problem there.

But when a link is clicked and the related page displays...
it covers up the frame, taking up the entire screen.

What do you have to do to keep the frame column visible all the time ?

Thanks, John

Try adding the target="main" to your link.

or even better use this:

<base target="main">

this way you dont have to add target="main" to all you hyperlinks.

i hope this helped, [bobafett]
