I've been maintaining the local church's website, and it was designed in FrontPage. I'm working on writing it in correct HTML, to allow for other browser's access. I have it set up so that a frame works as the navigation bar, and the content opens in another frame, kinda like this
you can see what I mean here www.stahfp.org/test.html
whenever I click on one of the navigation buttons, it opens in a new window. The link line reads
I have a feeling the 'target="content"' part is what makes it open in a new window. Is there any way to have it open the page in the 'content' frame, without opening a new window?

Is the frame called "content". The name behind the 'target=' should be the frame's name. If this is the name, are you sure it's not reserved for something else? You might want to try a different name.

for some reason the content.html page is not functioning correctly, but if you go to www.stahfp.org/test.html you will get the gist of what I'm trying to say

It seems to be working correctly for me

Oh, except the first link in the navigation.

yes, the frame is called content. I don't know if it's reserved for something else. I'll see what happens when I change it

changing the frame name does not affect it. It still opens the page linked to in a new window. Other thoughts?

which browser are you using? by first link, do you mean the first time you press the button, or the "home" button. There is nothing uploaded, so most of those links won't have any content, and it will not be able to find what it's looking for.

what happens if you remove the target attribute altogether, I have been designing a website myself and never bothered with the target attribute and the default behaviour is what I expected, the link to open the page in the content frame, which I have called 'main' on my site

For me it work correctly, but there's no file that should be opened. Create temporary, blank ones and test it.

when I tried that it opened the page in the frame where the navigation1.html file it. I'll play w/ that some more, but that didn't seem to work for me

removing the
opened the page in the space where the navigation bar is

for those of you for who it's working correctly, can you tell me what happened?

your main frame, where the content is, is called: "content"
remove the .html, and simply do target="content"

Was that the line you had in there? Or the one from your first post. There's a difference between content as frame name and content.html

that's how it reads. If you see the source for www.stahfp.org/navigation1.html you'll see the link sources. test.html just get's the files navigation.html and content.html and is supposed to put them in the correct frames
