Let's say your FRAMESET loads a document into a frame called FRAME1 and
another into a frame named FRAME2.
The document in FRAME1 can change the document in FRAME2 to new.html like
this:
<a href=new.html TARGET=FRAME2>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
When this anchor is clicked the new.html is loaded into the frame named
FRAME2.
Also, if the user exits the frame-using area and tries to go back to the
main page the problem may arise where the whole thing ends up in the frame
still! Same with links off-site, until you have frames in frames ad
infinitum. Thus when leaving the frame-based area, get rid of the nav
palette or whatever by loading the new document not into the frame but
over all the frames like this:
<a href=http://somewhere.or.other.net/some.html target=_parent>Link Off
Site</a> ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Note the underscore.
