Frame target opening in same frame

Tom Sparks · 02-15-2013, 03:10 AM

Hi I am trying to open an html document in a target frame and every time I click the link it opens in the same frame, what am I doing wrong and how could I fix it?

Code:

<html>
<frameset cols="180, *">
<frame name="LeftFrame" src="index.htm">
<frame name="RightFrame" src="welcome.htm">
</html>

and this is an example of the link code in my index.htm

Code:

<li><a href="one.htm" target"RightFrame">one.htm</a></li>
	<li><a href="two.htm" target"RightFrame">two.htm</a></li>
	<li><a href="three.htm" target"RightFrame">three.htm</a></li>

I am trying to open in the RightFrame, do I have to change that code in the framset (first excerpt of code) document?
Cheers!

I have been looking into the problem and have seen a lot of <iframe> tags, however when I used those in replacement of my <frame> tags the page came up blank, I am using chrome so is it my html frameset document layout?
Just wondering

You left out the = between the long obsolete target attribute and the value you are trying to assign to it.

Thank you very much I knew it was a simple solution but after working on it for an hour and just staring at it I was at wits end
Thank you!

Still, I and many others (I assume) would recommend you to look into alternatives to framesets at long sight.
