Dear Reader,
I have an ASP page which is divided into two frames vertically. The left frame name is "left" and the right frame name is "right".

In the "left" frame i have a .htm file which contains a hyperlink to another .htm file named "newfile.htm". This "newfile.htm" is again a file which is subdivided into two frames. The problem i am facing is that when i click on the link in the link in the "left" frame the "newfile.htm" opens in the "left" frame itself. What i want is that
1) The "newfile.htm" should occupy the whole window.

2) Also what if i want to load the "newfile.htm" file in a new window.

Any Code would be of great help.

Thanks for reading.

Sure thing.

1. In order for you to open a link in the right frame, you have to specify the target attribute of the <A tag, i.e:


<A HREF=MyFile.htm target=right>Link to my file</A>


2. If you want to open your link in a new window, then again you'll have to specify a target for it:


<A HREF=MyFile.htm target=_new>Link to my file</A>

The problem is not that i want to open the page in the right window but the new page called should occupy the whole window i.e. replace the existing window containing the frames.

Try one of these:
<A HREF=MyFile.htm target=_Top>Link to my file</A>
<A HREF=MyFile.htm target=_Self>Link to my file</A>
