Make sure that your frame has a name. Then in your links just include target="FrameNameHere" .

So as an example, if your frame was called MainFrame you would have your link like this...

<a href="thispage.html" target="MainFrame">Go to this page!</a>

Thanks Mhtml,

Could you tell me how to do that without the link...
I need it to be automatic...maybe I need to use "onload" ?

Oh right, lol sorry didn't read you question right. :o

Well in your frame (be it an iFrame or frameset frame) just add src="yourpage.html"

OR, are you wanting it so that it will load another frame other than the one already loaded?

In that case I think something like,

document.myFrame.location="yourpage.html";

Would work.

body onLoad will execute a javascript script.

Ok, show me the code you have and I will try to guide you through it with examples.
