In the frameset, frame src="whatever.html" you should also have name="something", src="nav.html" name="navigation", et cetera...

In the navigation frame (nav.html), you have anchor tags, that look like this:

<a href="file.html" target="something">

so that any link clicked on will open that file in the window named 'something'...
www.hotwired.com/webmonkey has a great tutorial on frames and how they work (search for it).

I see that AndyB answered your question in the other thread -- the name="something" has to be the same as the target="something" in the a tag.

Do check out the online tutorials -- they really are there to help you figure out just this sort of thing.

THIS is your frameset files:

<html>
<FRAMESET cols="20%,80%" border="0" framespacing="0" frameborder="0">
<FRAME SRC="frame1.html" name="left_frame" scrolling="no">
<FRAME SRC="page1.html" name="right_frame">
</FRAMESET>
</html>

See the name="right_frame" that is the NAME that must be used as your target for links in another frame. So in the menu frame, a proper link looks like:

<a href="page.html" target="right_frame"> ...

the url is the address, and it stands for Universal Resource Locator. It is the part after the http:// in the address.

Andy has answered you twice now, and I am going to try again with pointing you to an online tutorial that will teach you what you need to know -- http://hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey/96/31/index3a.html

AND you have errors in your code. I don't know if Dreamweaver has a built in validator or not, if so, use it. If not, www.netmechanic.com has an online validator that will tell you where the problem lies. For the record, two single quotes is not the same as a double quote.
