First I want to thank Lissa for a wonderful website. It has helped me plenty of times when I've needed it.

On to my problem...

My website uses frames, and when I try and get a link to open in another window it does not work. I'm very familiar with frames and how they work, but I do not know what is wrong.

The name of the section I am trying to link to is "1.html," and in my target area I put "1.html" and it doesn't work. I've also tried targeting it with "1" and even re-naming the file, but it always wants to open in an entirely new window.

Anyone have any suggestions?

I'm very sorry if that sounded confusing. Sometimes it's difficult to explain exactly what I'm trying to do. :)

ok i think i know wat u mean.
do you mean to hav say a navagation frame n a main frame?n u want the link from the nav to link to the main???

if so heres what u do.
<a href="wateva.html" target="main""
in the nav for the links put ::

and in th main .html file (the one with the frameset in) you should name your frames something like "main"like this::
<frame src="main800x600.html" name="main">

hope that helped

That is exactly what the problem was! I don't see how I let that slip by me. Thank you so much. Your help was very much appreciated. :)
