Re: Creating Java/DHTML Vertical Navigation Menu in FrontPage

Add a <base target="framename"> tag to the <head section of the navigation frame, where framename is the name of the frame with the content.

Example:

<html>
<head>
<title>blah</title>
<base target="maincontent">
</head>
<body>
Navigation
</body>
</html>

Hi Trevor, yeah I'm using a frames page that has 4 parts - a top
banner, three frames underneath this - the left hand side is the
navigation menu, the middle one is the body and the right hand side is
a links menu. When an option is chosen from the left hand side
navigation menu, I would like just the middle body frame to change
only. I'm not sure how this will work though! Could you please assist
me on the coding?
Thank you!
