left frame- contents
right frame - mainwin

Should load qxl.html (my page) on the left hand side, and their site on the right hand site (www.qxl.com) when you click on QXL logo.

I've tried both ie5 and netscape (give this error - JavaScript Error: [unknown origin], - parent.mainwin has no properties).

thanks...

remove the

<ase target=main> tag at the top of the page.

JavaScript should really be left on parameters that are meant to handle scripts. When I tried this line I got all sorts of funky behaviors. It should really look like this:

<A HREF="#" onClick="javascript:parent.framename.location='thepage.htm';parent.framename.location='thepage.htm';">
Click here...</A>

The hash tells the browser that the location is not changing and it still excutes the link just like the above solution.
