Solved: Dreamweaver 8 Frame Link Problem
Hi there

This is bugging the life out of me and I've seen folks post about it on other forums but with no solutions being offered. Hopefully someone here can help.

I've done a frame set and have linked my menu for new pages to open in a certain frame. I've put the url of the page and also the target where its all supposed to go. I've named all of my files, I've named all of my frames - but the page that I want to open, opens in a complete new browser window and not the frame I specify.

I've made and saved the new files that I want to open, outside of the original frameset.

Any ideas anyone?

Thanks in anticipation.

Your HTML seems to be missing the definition of the frame named "Main". Without that frame being defined, the links will open in a new browser window or browser tab.

EDIT: Or did you just post some of the HTML? Did you post the HTML for the menu frame only? Can you post the HTML file with the framesets defined?

Peace...

Here's the code for the main frame which is where I want the new pages to open:

Thanks but I was looking for the HTML file with the "frame" or "frameset" tags in it.

If your site is live, can you post a link to it?

Yep, that's what I was looking for.

Try adding a "name" attribute to your frame tags, like this:

<frame src="Main Frame.html" frameborder="no" scrolling="yes" id="Main" name="Main" />

See if that helps.

Cool! Then be sure to assign the other frames appropriate "name" attributes, as necessary.

Peace...
