    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.
