**ADQUSIT** · Mar 6th, 2012, 10:38 PM

Hi, I have a frameset in html code, and have 2 different pages, frame1.html and frame2.html as sources of frameset right. i made HOME, MISSION, OFFICES hyper links in the frame1.html and want to see its result in the fram2.html. I use the following code

<a href = "mission.html" = target = "_top"> MISSION </a>

I have change the code with all four _top, _parent, _self, _blank but i'm not getting my result so please guide me with this.

HERE IS THE MAIN FRAME SOURCE CODE.

<html>

<frameset cols = "20%, 80%">

<frame src = "frame1.html">
<frame src = "frame2.html">
</frameset>

</html>

Give a "name" to any frame that you want to target:

Code:

<frame src="frame2.html" name="frame2">

...then use that name as the target of any link that you want to appear in it:

Code:

<a href="mission.html" target="frame2"> MISSION </a>

As goes the standard adage: frames are not good practice and are best avoided entirely.
