i'am i missing something

Yep

Don't use frames!!!

Other than that as we have no idea what target attribute value you have used it's difficult to say.

chris thanks for replying, whats the alternative to frames, is it tables and do they work in the same way as frames

I think you can use the <div> tag but someone will have to correct me if im wrong, lol

Tables and Div are something different

Anywayzz, there can be four values for target ...

_blank
the target URL will open in a new window

_self
the target URL will open in the same frame as it was clicked

_parent
the target URL will open in the parent frameset

_top
the target URL will open in the full body of the window

Hope this hepls u ..

The question becomes, what are you trying to do tahat you think you need frames ?? Framesa are just bad for numerous reasons and you really should not use them.

Thanks for all your reply's since the thread was put up, i got my head round the ploblem,there for very happy. Nice to get help when you need it.Site's like this are priceless
