I want to open the link in a specific frame of another page .
How can I do this.
e.g
I give a hyperlink to "ww.yahoo.com" in the an html page called "One" .I want when a user click on this link, another page "Two" opens that contains three frames A,B,C .The "www.yahoo.com" should open in the "B" frame of the page "Two" .

You could, for example, write the frameset as a server script that takes as parameter the URL for the specific frame you want the page in.

However, two big problems:
1) Framesets are inaccessible, break bookmarks and generally have quite a few problems.
2) It is considered extremely rude to load foreign pages in your own frameset. Many pages contain framebreakers to prevent just that.

Simplest, not-quite-working PHP example:
<html>
<frameset rows="2">
<frame src="head.html"/>
<frameset cols="2">
<frame src="nav.html"/>
<frame src="<?php echo $_GET['page']; ?>"/>
</frameset>
</frameset>
</html>
If this flle is called fs.php, you can link to an URL like this:
http://youhost/fs.php?page=content.html
and content.html will be in the right frame.
