Frames
I made a frame with a menu bar on the side, so that when you click on the link, it appears in the main page. How do you make it so when you click on one of the links that it will open a whole new page instead of the page in the frame where the link is, or where it is targeted.

Re: Frames
I tried the target="_blank" and it opened up a new window, do you know how to make it open in the same window?

Re: Frames
dajabu,

I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to do.

    If the link is in a side frame (eg. leftFrame) and you want to open a link in the mainFrame area: target="mainFrame".

    If you want to open a link in the same frame that the link is in: target="_self".

    As arod posted earlier, if you want to open a link into a new page (which is what I thought you originally wanted to do): target="_blank".


Remember, you're using frames and you have to specify which frame or new page you want the link opened into.

Re: Frames
k, he's how it is, only one of the pages on my website is in frames. So when I go to that page and I want to leave, i click on the button and the page opens inside the the part of the frame with the button. I want the page that is opened to take the whole frame out and put the new page in to take up the whole screen, not just part of the frame.

i tried the name="_blank" and that opened a whole new window, and i dont want that.

Re: Frames
What you need is:

target="_parent"

That should fix your problem.

confused Re: Frames
Ok, I'm not going to pollute the forum so I'll post my problem here because it's frame related.

I am building a framed website with one Header frame, one side navigation frame and a main frame.

The targeting isn't really the problem.

My question is: Is it possible to make two frames change with only one link?

So what I want is when I get to the welcome screen, the top frame shows a big " Welcome!"
and the main frame shows the actual page.

I tried this: <a href="welcome_head.html" target="header" href="welcome.html" target="main">Welcome</a>

But that'll only work out the first href and ignores the second.
How can I change them both?
