In the left frame, put the link:

<a href="page.html" target="name_of_centre_frame">Click here</a>

as mentioned,
the TARGET value of the link must match the NAME value of the frame you want it to appear into.

if you continue to have a problem, please post a link to your site so we can see the error in action.

thanks.

Argh.Still dont really get it.So here is the code on Lissa's frame page:

<html>
<head>
<title>My Page</title>
</head>
<frameset cols=20%,80%>
<frame src="left.html" name="leftside">
<frame src="right.html" name="rightside">
</frameset>
<body>
</body>
<noframes>
<a href="your main page.html">Click Here</a>
</noframes>
</html>

My site name is http://www.geocities.com/lpark000/index.html

Where do I put the links and how do I make them show up?All it says is Page cannot be found.Can someone substitute the stuff that need to be substituted?

Sorry for being dumb.I have a pea-sized brain when it comes to frames.

First you need to save the frame code as index.html (there should be nothing else on that page)

<html>
<head>
<title>My Page</title>
</head>
<frameset cols=20%,80%>
<frame src="left.html" name="leftside">
<frame src="right.html" name="rightside">
</frameset>
<body>
</body>
<noframes>
<a href="your main page.html">Click Here</a>
</noframes>
</html>

Then you make a page called left.html and right.html using normal html (http://www.lissaexplains.com/html.shtml#setup)

To target your links to the rightside you will make all your links like so:
<a href="the url" target="rightside">Link Name</a>

If you're using Yahoo Pagebuilder, see this site:

Im using the copy and paste style...

So...I copy the code Lissa put for the frames...and then where do I paste the code for the left.html and right.html page?And in the frame code...will we just name it left.html and right.html?Will we also change the main page.html to my website URL?

Sorry for the many questions!!

Wait...when I tried it in Notepad,I made each of the frame and the pages (left and right) in seperate files and it kinda worked!There were links and stuff...but there was no center frame!Like,nothing that would appear that is text...

Oh,and how do you make the frame not be the whole page?like www.yummielicious.com ?

Thanx in advance

Do you want a frame like her's then? If so, you need a different code......You'll need to make all the pages in red using normal html. To have the links open in the middle you'll need to target your links to middle and not rightside.



<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>title</TITLE></HEAD>

<FRAMESET ROWS="20%,60%,20%">
<FRAME SRC="up.html" NAME="up">
<FRAMESET COLS="20%,60%,20%">
<FRAME SRC="left.html" NAME="left">
<FRAME SRC="middle.html" NAME="middle">
<FRAME SRC="right.html" NAME="right">
</FRAMESET>
<FRAME SRC="bottom.html" NAME="bottom">
</FRAMESET>

<NOFRAMES>
Sorry, but your browser does not support frames.
</NOFRAMES>

</HTML>

Put this in the left frame:

<a href="page.html" target="content">Click here</a>

In page.html, write the name of the page, and add on .html. Where it says Click here, also write the name of the page, but without .html. Where I wrote content, it should make it go to the middle of the page, unless you havwe a different name for that part, change it. Then, you have to make a page so its not a broken link.
