Iframe Menu Question

I am trying to make a menu for my site.
I made an HTML page with the text/links of the menu, then I embedded that page in all the main "content" pages using an iframe. The problem is that whenever I click the links in the menu they open INSIDE of the iframe instead of switching the whole browser to the page the link is directed to. I hope I'm not TOO hard to understand. wink.gif

Oh, and on this page it has the perfect example of what I want.

See how when you click on one of the links in the example frame, the whole page changes to that link.

The reason why they load in the iframe rather than the parent page is because you did not specify the target for the links in the iframe. You must give the target attribute either _top or _parent as its value.

Example:
HTML
<a href="#" target="_top">Link</a>

    Is it possible to call a file, i.e. 1.htm, from my web browser using such tag HTML iframe src

    I am not sure if this is the correct section, but this is related to HTML. I have some menus at the
    top of my forum, which work perfectly in Firefox. But my members started complaining that they were
    not working correctly, and when I tested it in Internet Explorer, I found that only two of the menus
    show up, and the others show up as plain text below. Here is a screenshot of what the menus look
    like in the two browsers: I have thought of something though. The HTML i used for my menus was
