simple question?

Could please some one answer this probably very simple
question as my mind has gone blank:

I have one part of my site that uses frames.
In one frame (at the top) I have a menu for
other pages on the site. When I click the
menu it opens the page in that frame - I remember
that there was some command to load the page on top
or parent but can't for the life of me remember how
the syntax goes. Here's is an example of what I have
now:

Home

Many Thanks in advance for any help

My head should stop hurting any time soon Smiling

Cheers

When you define your initial frameset you need to provide a name for each frame like this:

Then when you want a link to load in a certain frame, you use the target attribute to send it to the name of the frame you want like this:

Home

Then the index.html file will load into the "body" frame.

I hope this helps (and I hope it's right - i haven't used frames in awhile!)

Thanks for the reply but what I want it to do is
to go from a frames page to a non-frames page.

At the moment when I click on a link it opens it in
the frame instead of opening it on top.

Never was very good at explanations Smiling
