Questions about frames and targets

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)


Posted by: nbates

OK, Boys and girls, Here is another pop quiz


I have a html page the main index.html file loads 2 other html files in a frame.

What I want to do is have the users click on the link in the 1st frame and then the link or information, web page ect. load into the 2nd frame....

I have viewed the sourcecode of a couple sites that are doing it and I can not make it work.

thanks again,

Norman

on the page that contains the frameset information, you must put name="somenamehere" in the <frame> tag of the page you want to target. now put <base target="somenamehere"> in the source of the first frame under the <head> tag. this will make all pages linked from the first frame load into the second.

For future reference, post the part of the code that is yours and giving you trouble. Makes it a lot easier to help you cause I really don't know what your doing wrong without seeing it.

Hope this helps, http://www.pageresource.com/html/frame1.htm.
Click that link to see how your index.html file should be setup. At the bottom of that page click next for the part your looking for, linking within frames.

Airbladus is correct.
