html question, frame how to?

[ArkAoss]

i have a lame website, has 2 frames, one side has a list of links to other parts of my site, and links to other sites,
i use this line {<}a href=&quot;wow.html&quot; target=&quot;main&quot;{>} to link to my pages and to the other sites,
in my index.html the frames are labeled as meny u and stuff (the capitilization is different) i tried changing the menu html lines to refer to target as stuff, oh wait it was capitilization problems, fixed it, Any one want to take a look to suggest how to fix the cascade issue i now have?? thanx in advance for help

For links in the large frame that opens the page and the left frame try using &quot;target=_top&quot;. That should help some. Frames are a pest, I gave them up for 'include' components on my site, much less of a hassle.

I may be missing your point

but things you want on the right frame, you need to add target=&quot;stuff&quot;
and for things you want to stay in the same window and replace your frames, you want target=&quot;_top&quot;

Click the above link to go to HTML Goodies, it's a site that will help you with a lot of HTML things, including frames. So if you want to learn a thing or two (I think it stays pretty basic) about websites and such, drop by there.

'target=stuff'?? Target is used to tell your browser where it is supposed to open hyperlinks. If you put 'target=_blank' that tells it to open up a new window. If you put 'target=_top' that tells it to open it in the same window and disregard any existing frames (something like that anyways). I don't know what you mean by 'stuff'. A good idea might be to pick up an HTML 4 book, they're very helpful.

This site doesn't like frames .. about which it says this:

&quot;A couple of the deep engines are claiming that they follow links within framed sites, but there's still no evidence to support this. Even if they do, the fact remains that if your whole site is in frames then you can only get to it with one URL which means you can only have one listing on a search engine.

You could get around this by listing the URLs of your framed pages, but then you'd have to be prepared for people to arrive at your site via a full-screen page which should be framed, which kind of defeats the object of having frames in the first place.

If you really must use frames, make good use of the <NOFRAMES> tag on your index page, so you'll at least have one decent listing.&quot;

well in the pages original index, i named the frame i want things to target to as &quot;stuff&quot;, thus target = stuff,
