how can I make a javascript that will open a certain page in a defined frame when the onClick event is fired?

supposing u've got a frame like this:

<frame name="aframe" src="whatever.htm">

and this is the link that should activate a page being opened only in 'aframe', you'll do this:

<a href="yourlink.htm" target="aframe">

but if u want a link in a frame to open a page in the entire window and get rid of the frames, you do this:
<a href="yourlink.htm" target="top">, or maybe it's "_top", i'm forgetting...

onClick="top.frames['frameName'].location.href='page.htm';"

where frameName is uh, the name of the frame :D
