Hi, The current specification needs to clarify the desired behavior when multiple frames have the same NAME attribute. This can lead to behavior which the document author did not intend. e.g. A document containing frames 'contents' and 'docbody' has a link to another document which is displayed in frame 'docbody'. This document turns out to be a multi-frame document and has a 'contents' frame of its own - where do targeted links to 'contents' in the nested document actually get displayed? Netscape and Microsoft currently have slightly different algorithms for finding the named target. Does the search proceed first to close siblings and then to more remote frames in the current window and then eventually to different browser windows? This needs to be properly specified. As a safeguard, perhaps there is a need for a new attribute on the FRAME tag to indicate that this frame is not replaceable by targeted links. Regards Peter Wilson
