Control frame content with links

To use a link in one frame to open a document in another frame, you must set a target for the
link. The target attribute of a link specifies the frame or window in which the linked content
opens.
For example, if your navigation bar is in the left frame, and you want the linked material to
appear in the main content frame on the right, you must specify the name of the main content
frame as the target for each of the navigation bar links. When a visitor clicks a navigation link,
the specified content opens in the main frame.
1. In Design view, select text or an object.
2. In the Link box in the Property inspector (Window > Properties), do one of the following:
o Click the folder icon and select the file to link to.
o Drag the Point to File icon to the Files panel and select the file to link to.
3. In the Target menu in the Property inspector, select the frame or window in which the
linked document should appear:
o _blank opens the linked document in a new browser window, leaving the current
window untouched.
o _parent opens the linked document in the parent frameset of the frame the link
appears in, replacing the entire frameset.
o _self opens the link in the current frame, replacing the content in that frame.
o _top opens the linked document in the current browser window, replacing all
frames.
Frame names also appear in this menu. Select a named frame to open the linked
document in that frame.
4. Note:
5. Frame names appear only when youre editing a document within a frameset. When you
edit a document in its own Document window, frame names do not appear in the Target
pop- up menu. If youre editing a document outside of the frameset, you can type the
target frames name in the Target text box.

6. If youre linking to a page outside of your site, always use target="_top" or

target="_blank" to ensure that the page doesnt appear to be part of your site.
