Frame Problems
I really hate working with frames but in this case I don't have any choice. What I need to do is to have a navbar at the top of the page. The middle will be content from another site. When I click on a link in the navbar, I want it to load the page that I clicked on. Right now it loads the page but since it is in the top frame, it loads the whole page in the nav(top) frame. The middle content stays the same. This page will be the only page on the site with frames.
How can I do this?

I am not sure what you meant by that part of your post but from what I understood I beleive you will need to do 2 things
1) Give your middle frame a name ( ie. )
2) In the link that you want to open in that middle frame put: target="middle"
into the:
therefore giving you:
Hope this helps.

What I mean is that the site has several hundred pages. Only one page in the site will be using frames. The other pages will not be using frames at all. I don't want to use frames on any of the other pages so when a link is clicked on in the top frame, it doesn't load the page in the top frame but in a new page.

to set the default target you can use and then just add target="middle" for that single link that won't be using it.
BTW. An example might make it easier for us to help you.
