HTML frame problem

Hi.

I am currently writing my first website. I am having a bit of a problem with frames. I have a homepage that links to four pages. One of these four pages is split into two frames. There is a sub-menu page at top, and the lower frame will open what is selected from the sub menu.

The top page also has a back button and links to the other three main pages. The problem is, when I choose back, or another page, only the top frame goes back, so the pages that should be full screen are not, they are only in the top frame area.

What do I need to add to stop this happening? I have attached the code below. I haven't actually got round to creating the sub menu yet, just the back button and buttons for the previous menu.

Thanks, Doug :good:

Code: 
<html>

<title>Douglas Rose - Online Portfolio - Portfolio</title>

<frameset rows="25%,*">

<frame src="C:\Users\Doug\Documents\Uni Work\Project\Douglas Rose - Portfolio files\Online Portfolio Top Page.html">
<frame src="C:\Users\Doug\Documents\Uni Work\Project\Douglas Rose - Portfolio files\[B][COLOR="Red"]to be added[/COLOR][/B]" 
name="showframe">

</frameset>

</html>

I think what you are seeing is the default behaviour of frames. In your <a> tags you need to specify a target as well as the href. Use target="_top" to load a fullscreen page and target="showframe" to load up the page in that frame.
 
yup a tags are messed up...

as a web developer you should not use frames to be honest...as down the road you will not be using it

You should really consider to learn how to use div tags.
