In the following URL, the link from the button "take me to the daily devo" targets the navbar frame when I want it to target "self" - and nothing I seem to do can make it work correctly. any ideas why this is messed up?

Also in the following URL, the search query targets the navbar, too, and I want it to target "self".

Kacha,
It works for me in IE 5

But I see you have named the frames with the same names.

you can give each fame a unique name and use that for the targets

<frameset rows=&quot;82,*&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; framespacing=&quot;0&quot; frameborder=&quot;NO&quot;>
<frame src=&quot;ph2navbar.html&quot; <font color=#FF0000>name=&quot;No Name&quot; <--- </font>scrolling=&quot;NO&quot; noresize>
<frame src=&quot;ph2-4-frame.html&quot; <font color=#FF0000>name=&quot;No Name&quot; <---</font> scrolling=&quot;NO&quot; noresize>
</frameset>

<A href=&quot;stuff.htm&quot; target=&quot;mainframe&quot;> stuff </A>

if you wanted to replace everything see sneakydave's suggestion

hope this helps

They seem to work fine for me in Netscape... Did you fix them?

I think you can replace the entire window (without opening a new one) by using TARGET=_TOP

I may be wrong.
