Alright, so i have a side bar, a heading, and main bar frame. i want my links in the side bar to open in the main frame, but when i programmed it to do that, it opened in a whole new window.

Here is the code for the side bar.

<html>
<body link=black vlink=black alink=red>
<ul>
<li type=circle><a STYLE="text-decoration:none" href="C:\Users\Grant Bedard\Desktop\Louis Pasteur Website\Early Life.html" TARGET=MAIN>Louis Pasteur's Early Life </a></li type=circle>
<li type=circle><a STYLE="text-decoration:none" href="C:\Users\Grant Bedard\Desktop\Louis Pasteur Website\10 Discoveries.html" TARGET=MAIN>Louis Pasteur's Top 10 Discoveries</a></li type=circle>
<li type=circle><a STYLE="text-decoration:none" href="C:\Users\Grant Bedard\Desktop\Louis Pasteur Website\Later Life.html" TARGET=MAIN> Louis Pasteur's Later Life</a></li type=circle>
</ul>
</body link=black vlink=black alink=red>
</html>

And here is the main frame

<html>
<FRAMESET ROWS="20%,*">
<FRAME SRC="C:\Users\Grant Bedard\Desktop\Louis Pasteur Website\Home page\Header of home page.html" NAME=TITLE SCROLLING=NO>

<FRAMESET COLS="20%,*">
<FRAME SRC="C:\Users\Grant Bedard\Desktop\Louis Pasteur Website\Home page\Navigation Sidebar.html" NAME=SIDEBAR>
<FRAME SRC="C:\Users\Grant Bedard\Desktop\Louis Pasteur Website\Home page\Body text of Home Page.html" NAME=MAIN>
</FRAMESET>
</FRAMESET>
</html>

Alright, i found the problem, well, two problems.

1) I was in the old main page, the one before I decided to create the final page by copy and pasting the code, I don't know why i did that.

2) I saved it as a .txt file, not an .html

Moral of the story?

Check to make sure you
A) Save it correctly
B) You are in the right window

While this may work on your computer for testing, it will not work on a server. You need to save all your files inside a folder eliminating the absolute path, and use a relative path.

will not work
Code: SRC="C:\Users\Grant Bedard\Desktop\Louis Pasteur Website\Home page\Header of home page.html"

Will work from inside a folder
Code: SRC="Header of home page.html"
