What is the html for having a hyperlink open in a particular frame on my Home Page instead of opening in a new window? I always thought it was Target=(name of frame) but that doesn't seem to work. Thanks

<a href="mylink.html" target="framename">text</a>

This is the main page with frames

Code: <html>
<head>
<frameset cols="50%,50%" >
<frameset rows="50,50">
<frame src="1.html" name = "frame1">
<frame src="2.html" name = "frame2">
</frameset>
<frameset rows="50,50">
<frame src="3.html" name = "frame3">
<frame src="4.html" name = "frame4" >
</frameset>
</frameset>
</head>
<body>

</body>
</html>

and 4.html has

Code: <html>
<head></head>
<body>
   Page 4
   <a href = "http://www.google.com" target = "frame1">Go to GOOGLE</a>

</body>
</html>

When you click on "Go to GOOGLE" , this will replace the frame1(1.html) with google.com.
I have tested this in Safari and FF and works fine.

YESSS.

it works now.
i never named my frames so i was just using the .htm as my target and that's why it didnt work.

thank you so much.
