Can anyone tell me how to get links (to other webpages) that are in the Nav bar, to show up in my main area on this page?
http://www.myparentime.com/collegeinfo.html
Links to other pages on my site I do not want to show up inside the main area, as it is now.
TIA!

Change from target=_top to target=main (replacing main with whatever you have titled the frame you want the linked page to show up in)
That should do it :)

Thanx for your quick response Deb ;) .
Here's something that's really annoying.[nbsp][nbsp]The site that I set up to show inside my frame, must have coded their page so that the "back" button on the browser doesn't go back to my page, once visitors click on a link that ends up in my main frame.[nbsp][nbsp]Soooo, why even have frames at all... (having frames to include this site was the other site's idea in the first place).[nbsp][nbsp]
I had target="main" in my nav frame, but those still aren't showing up in my main frame...

I went to your site, and one of your links is doing this to ya and that is why it is not doing what you had hoped for it to do. Here is the code:
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=http://www.scholarstuff.com/">
</HEAD>
<BODY bgcolor="#FFFFFF" onLoad="if (self != top) top.location = self.location">
(this is from the financial link. What I would do is change the link to the url listed in the "refresh tag"[nbsp][nbsp]-- also the "United States" link is doing this to you as well. (and I am not gonna check them all -- grin -- that is your job! ;)[nbsp][nbsp])
Reason for the back button not working is the above code is from the URL that you linked to.. that forwarded ya within the blink of an eye. Sad part is, when a user hits their back button, they did infact go back.. just to be forwarded to the site they were trying to escape from. *Don't ya hate feeling trapped?*

Dear Hearts,
I'm still not sure how to make the links show up in the main window.[nbsp][nbsp]What do you mean that the financial and United States links are not correct?[nbsp][nbsp]I thought they need to say target="main"?[nbsp][nbsp]:(
About the refresh tag...did you get that code sample from http://www.scholarstuff...I couldn't find it.[nbsp][nbsp]Is there anything I can do to prevent their page from forwarding back to them?
TIA!

What do you mean by the "main window"...
You have three frames on that page. I assume the Top Right hand one, which is the largest, is your "main window"?
but, if it is, then the page appears to be working correctly at this time.
By "main" window, do you mean you want pages you link to from other sites to appear within your framed page? Or not?
If not, then I assume you want something like I have on my old pages
http://www.wenet.net/~cking/sheila/
Go to the Math links or Education links pages and click on a link to take you off the site. You will break out of frames and that site will fill your entire browser's window. Is that what you want?
Confused...

Hey Sheila,
I'm also using Netscape 4.61.[nbsp][nbsp]I also tried it in IE 5.[nbsp][nbsp]Not showing up in the main window :(.[nbsp][nbsp]
I'm thinking of emailing the site that I'm associated with me.[nbsp][nbsp]Maybe they have an answer ;) .
Thanx!

Yes, I want links to other sites (that are listed in the left frame) to appear in the main window (largest one).[nbsp][nbsp]It's just not working for me :(.

Hmm. Wierd. I went to the eStudentLoans and the College something-or-other site from your frameset. I even opened the College one in a separate browser window just so I could see the URL and be sure it was a different site from yours.
Worked fine for me.
I'm using Netscape 4.61
What are you using?

Joi ------- a few of your links that you have (NOT YOUR TARGETS) are being redirected. IF you look closely at the code that I left you, the URL you have for the troubling links have two things:
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=http://www.scholarstuff.com/">
This is actually redirecting to another link
ALSO the troubling links have this code
<BODY bgcolor="#FFFFFF" onLoad="if (self != top) top.location = self.location">
This is taking that out of your frames.
Because of the "refresh" -- when they hit the back button the browser is sending the user back ONE .. to the redirecting page. Because your links referred the user to the redirect rather than the actual page the user ends up at.
NOT all of your links are NOT opening up inside your frames. So here is what I would do. Notate the troubling URL's that you have. Click them, see where you actually end up, and use that URL in your menu instead.
Do you understand now? -- gosh I hope so, cuz I think I am confusing myself trying to explain it to you. ;)

Joi--------------- YES you are losing it *grin*
Just do this.. cuz i did explain what to do. You are simply concerning yourself with the wrong issue here.
ONE MORE TIME -- I don't know how to s-l-o-w down your thinking.. so read carefully.
FORGET THE REFRESH TAG. IT IS NOT ON YOUR PAGES.
the links that are giving you trouble, NOT opening up inside your frames, do the following:
1. click your links.
2. pay attention to the FEW that do NOT open up inside your main frame.
3. note the URL in the Location Bar of your browser
4. compare it to the URL in your site (you will notice that they are not the same, so correct it)
THUS you will not be linking to the page with the redirect, instead be linking to the actual page you are intending on your visitors to see.
DO YOU GET IT NOW?
*sorry* -- but I have/am explaining it as best I can.
how about a beer? *grin*
