A HREFs to multiple frames

Hello!

I am developing frames-based software for processing and studying genomic
sequence data, and have come across the following problem:

Is there a way to have one <A HREF= . . . TARGET=> tag link to more than one
frame?  In other words, I want to be able to have one button in the parent
frame bring up new HTML for two different frames, one of which will show a
stored query sequence and the other which will show the results for this query.
 I've tried client pulls in a META tag, but it seems as if the TARGET tag is
ignored and the new HTML just overwrites the calling page.

Does anyone know any way, simple or complex, to get my html to do this?

Thanks!

Brian
