i am not sure if this is the right place to post this but i could really use some help as i am totally new to html and iframes.

Quote: <frameset cols="20%,*">
<frame src="sample.html" name="nav">
<frame src="www.homepage.com" name="main">
</frameset>

sample.html contains various login links to a game

what i am trying to do is make it so that the frame shows like a side bar that shows the names that i am logging into and when i click on a name it logs in the account into the main window.

right now it is working except that it logs in still in the side frame view.

Your links have to use the target="" attribute and the target has to have its own name:

target="frame_name"

Introduction to frames

Specifying target frame information

it took me a few days to figure it out exactly but it works amazingly.

ty so much for your help but 1 other question. is it possible to make it all work within 1 html file or will this always require 2 seperate files ?

Without seeing the functioning site, I think your choice of frames is going to require a minimum of two otherwise there's no reason to use frames. There are scripts which will load pages, images, videos into a div container on click of a link, but those count as files, too. Maybe I mis-understand the question as you should have more than two if your links on second frame page is loading into a frame on that page.
