Help me, I want to make a website with frame left and right. so, I use <a href="file.html">Go</a> Next, in file.html I use <frame... and so on till </frame> Now, the question is: When I am at the file inside the frame, how can I get out from this page? because if I write <a href="index.html"> it only open the page within the frame. So, please tell me.

Make it:



The target attribute tells it where to load the link. Having _top as a value tells it to remove all the frames...

In the target attribute goes the name of the frame you want the link to open in, or if you want it in a new window ("_blank").

I would recommend you to drop the frames and switch to pure xhtml and css design, you could try a few web sites and this forum to get started.

There are several issues in working with frames that most people will rather advise you to avoid, but you just may need the things as fast as possible or may not have enough time to spend on learning this technologies right now.

The main advantage of using frames is that you only make one page (say: the menu) and use it only once, and whenever it needs updating, you just need to update one file, and not every document of your site that had the menu (and this wouldnt be also that much trouble in some cases, if you know how to use a "seek and replace" function from whatever editor you are using).

But you can take advantage of server side includes, which bassically work the same way, the only problem is that your web server must support the language you are writting your stuff in... (like jsp, asp or php).

If you'd like additional information about this 'server side includes' you can post your question (i think a mod would advice you to make a new thread, or even better: search the forum for older threads where this topic has been already addressed)...

Good luck and good codin'

Seems like you are asking how to escape and break out from a frame.
Try this..

Include this code in the HTML which you didn't want it to be in a frame.


Change your body of the HTML as well to use the breaking out function.

I'll try to do that, thank you for sharing your knowldege.

---------edit:
Yes, it's really works. I set it _top and it really gets out of frame.
Thank you, and for next please help me to navigate the other frame to a file, do you know?

I mean, I make the left frame as menu, so when someone click "Biodata" at the left frame,
I want the right frame go to "biodata.html", so how could I do it?
(I've tried target="_right", but don't think it's even exist...)


(-Sory for little Out of Topic this is my 100th post!-)

You need to specify the name of the target, try: "_main" or "main" which are names assignated by default, but you should know the name of your main frame, you must have assigned it a name in the frame set... Look at your frameset document and seek for the name of the frame that is used as your right frame.

You can name it whatever you want (no special chars, and usual limitations), doesnt have to necessarily be "right" or "_right".

Dont be sorry, we help whenever we can..

You need each frame to have a title or name, whilst directing the a href to the target, which will be the frame's target. That's all.
