Frames Question t_sargent 03-07-2005

I am using FrontPage 2003. I am trying to create a simple page and
decided to use frames. Can you use simple and frames in the same
sentence? Anyway, I am new to this and am having problem with this
idea in mind. I would like one frame to have thumbnails of photographs
and when they are clicked, they open up a larger version in a different
frame. I have that working ok. However, I would like to have links to
different sites also on the page such as Home, Children, Family, Senior
Portraits, etc... However, when I put those in and click them, they
open up that page in a frame on the page I am in. Please help!

Thanks,
Tom

Set the link target to "_blank" and it will open in a new window. Use the
following syntax:

<a href="http://www.familysite.com/" target="_blank">Family Website</a>

I have no idea how to set a link to open in a new window with FP. Look here
for an answer to that question:

Good Luck,

Yes, but only if you add "badly implemented and inaccessible" in front of
the word "frames".

Use the _top frame target (or stop using frames)

My sympathies.

My sympathies.

You've got the right idea. Doing a framed site right is much more difficult
than doing an equivalent non-framed site right, because you have to work
around all the problems that come with frames:

You need to target the various links differently. See
