On all but one of my pages, when you click on the "Back to Home" it makes a repeat of the opening page, with a repeated frame. I tried typing in the target=right_frame, but it still did the same thing. How do I make it return to the start with only the regular 2 frames? Thanks.

Hi Beth, glad to see you made it to the forums here. Smiling

The link to go back to the homepage is going to open in the same frame, so you do not need a target in that link.

The problem you have is that you linked back to your "index.html" page which loads your frameset again rather than the start page. Instead, link to your start.html page with no target, ie:

<A HREF="start.html">Back to Home Page</A>

That should fix it for you. Smiling

PS> I also sent this through e-mail, but the tag there says HRF instead of HREF-typo! Sad
I think you'll get it without trouble though. Smiling

I always find it is easier to link <a href="www.mysite.com">Home</a>
That way you can get a full refresh of the screen..

P.s As far as I know the <a target...> means to launch it in a new window anyway..
