Desperate help with linkage in frames…

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jul 30.2005

Hi all, I am in need of assistance.

I am maintaining a website, and I have made it so that the navigation bar is to the left of the page, and the contents of each page are in frames in the middle.
Now, whenever I click on a navigation link, it changes the frame ok, but it also refreshes the whole page (as if it is also taking me to the next page).
All I want is for the nav links to change the frame…

Is this possible?

Thanks in advance,
Rafi

@Mr_JJul 30.2005 — Can you post your url or the code for the links?

Also give the names of your frames

@tralalalaauthorJul 30.2005 — OK here are how the links are: <a href="homeframe.html> (that is the frame I want, but it opens in the whole page).

names of frames: homeframe.html, contactframe.html, coursesframe.html,staffframe.html.


Thanks

@NogDogJul 30.2005 — When you define your frame elements, give each a unique name:
<i>
</i>&lt;frame name="main" src="homeframe.html"&gt;

When you want a link to display in that frame, use the target attribute:
<i>
</i>&lt;a href="another_page.html" target="main"&gt;Another Page&lt;/a&gt;

@tralalalaauthorJul 30.2005 — So I put <frame name....> inside the HTML doc which will be in the frame yeah?


Because I use the <iframe> tag for it.. ?

@tralalalaauthorJul 30.2005 — Nope it doesn't seem to work the way I did it..

Can you be more descriptive as of what I do?

Each frame has it's filename (e.g homeframe.html, coursesframe.html etc.).

I have a page called home.html which is the startpage, and in fact I want it to be the only page (because all the others will be in the frames...).

In hom.html I have links on the navbar, and I use <iframe> for putting in the content of the page.

What do I do to make it so as all the nabar links will open inside that one frame in home.html?


Thanks

@NogDogJul 30.2005 — Same thing, just put the name in the iframe:
[code=html]
<iframe name="main_frame" src="some_page.html"></iframe>
<p><a href="another_page.html" target="main_frame">Another Page</a></p>
[/code]
