First up, this is a cross post from
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6.browser, which on reflection
may not have been the best place to seek help...

I have a page with three IFRAME tags, in the classic "menu, banner,
content" layout. I use the TARGET attribute of HREF from the menu
links to load pages in the content frame. Generally, this works fine,
but now and again it just seems to break and starts opening a new
window for every link. The links are all static and I can't seem to
nail down the cause. Refreshing the frameset causes the links to
function correctly again. Any suggestions (apart from "don't use
frames")? Thanks.

The link to the original post is below.

No, it isn't. It's a *multi-post*. A cross-post is sending one
individual message to several groups at the same time.

Why would you do that? What is wrong with a nice, two-column CSS
layout? Certainly easier to maintain.

(They are iframe elements.)

So if you already know that frames are evil, why use them?
