Not sure where this goes so I'll post it here:

If someone clicks on an external link from my website I want this new site to show up within a top frame that has my navigation and banner. Just like how when you click an image from a Google image search, you get the new website inside the Google frame on top. I want to know how I can do this. Is there any free scripts available online that I can use?

If someone clicks on an external link from my website
If it's an external link, it goes TO your website. If it's an external link from your website, than it's not external.

If your website is built in a frame, you can start building a new one.

I'm not exactly sure about what you are asking but if you want to rank your images in Google image, the google webmaster tool can help you do that and also providing the right info for your image in the script (alt attribute, image title etc...)

I don’t have a website at the moment (I am currently working on the content for one) so I know next to nothing about the ins and outs of website creation. I’m not even sure if the word “Frame” is the correct term for what I have in mind.

Since I don’t know the right terms to use I will use an example:

http://www.mmalinker.com/xExternal.php?vidid=6709

See what’s going on here. The website “ikrazy.com” is showing up within the top frame of the website MMAlinker.com. How did MMAlinker achieve this is what I want to know?

Yes, frame is the correct term.

With all due respect, I'd suggest you decide on one of these options

1. Learn how HTML and the like works, so that you can create a site, and also so that you can understand technical advice you'll find (for free!) here.
2. Pay somebody else to make your site for you, and then ignore the details.

Depending on which one you go for, the answers you need are very different. If it's #1, I'd suggest downloading FireBug and looking into how Google Images results work. You can drill down into the markup tree and get a good understanding of how the pieces fit together, then learn how to code them one at a time.

Thanks LN! I am currently enrolled for a college course on web design that I will be starting in 2 weeks. Hopefully that will do the trick.

Then grab FireBug and FireFox for a good visual explanation to back up what they teach you in class!

What IS it with all these people using FRAMES lately ?? They are HORRIBLE, I wish they'd struck the tag from the HTML spec altogether. There are better, more modern ways to build web sites than moldy old frames (and tables).

Hmm, i used to do this with an old website of mine.
I remember for the link you needed to put target="name of your iframe here"> like...

<a href="EXTERNAL LINK" target="name of your iframe here">Linkkkkblahhh</a>

do you get it?

Hey thanks, yeah I get it now. "Iframe" is the keyword I needed to know- I just checked and there's tutorials on youtube on how to use them. It's actually quite simple.

So let me get this straight, you want to make an iframe that has other people's sites in it, and that when you click on a link their site shows up in it? May I ask why you want to do this?

That's not all my website is going to be about, I want the informative external links to show up inside a top frame that has my navigation so visitors can return back to my site afterwards. Sure, people know how to use the back button but many tend to forget the site they were previously viewing. And opening every other link on a new window seems more annoying then making them appear inside a top frame. I will have a "close the frame" option though that visitors can use.

Well, it has to be done with JavaScript. The basic idea is to read the href property of the link, return false so that the link is not followed, then apply the information taken from the href property and then update the src attribute of the iframe with that information.

I sort of see the point of what you are trying to do, but be careful, or it could just lead to a bad user experience. Giving them the option of closing it is a good thing. If you're having a hard time implementing what I suggest, bring up a thread in the JavaScript channel and I'll help you sometime tomorrow.
