double check your target. make sure that it EXACTLY matches the name of the frame you want them to open in, keeping in mind that it is case sensitive, too.

if you still can't get it to work, could you post a link to the site?

in your frameset code you have this:
<frame src="right.html" NAME="right">

but your link looks like this:
<a href="..." target="rightside">Biography</a>

you have to make sure those two words match exactly. either you'll have to change the frame's name, or target your links to rightside

take off the .html part in your target.
the target values should match the name values.
