Hi all,
I have four frames: topframe,leftframe,mainframe and rightframe.In the leftframe, I have a grid form that displays a list of titles retrieved from a database as links. Each title link takes one to a description page page for that particular selection.i want to have this description page displayed in mainframe. Each time I select a link however, a new browser page is opened to display the description which is not what i want. I want the description page to be displayed within mainframe.
Can any one help with a suggestion on how to get this done
Regards.

how do you have your links set up on this description page?
I have something similar with a left frame and a right (main) frame. In the left are links and depending on which one is pressed, it opens the page in the right (main) frame
Mine are setup in buttons, though and I needed to use functions for the onclick() in each button:
function goto_other()
{
var w_left=Math.ceil((screen.width-480)/2);
var TempID=document.permit.Text1.value;
var win=window.open("http://ccnet-appserver/permit3/building/build_Other.asp?Permit_ID="+TempID,"mainframe");
}
then the onclick for the button:
onclick="javascript:goto_other();"
I'm thinking the window.open method might be the only thing you need in there. with the frame you want to open into in quotes after the url link:
window.open("http://www.test.com","mainframe");
well, if you are just using <a href>....... then you don't need the window.open
try this:
<a href="http://example.com/" target="xxxxx">Example.com</a>
where xxxxx would be the name of your frame
hope this helps a bit.

Thank you Chris, the title list is a normal grid page. The label on the grid page was changed to link and the link configured to open in the mainframe but it is not working that way. I will try out your order suggestions and report back later.
