Frame Links
I have a hangover which does not help, I have a 2 frame main page with a tool bar at the top (frame 1) and the pages below (frame 2 ). When I link from the tool bar I can only make that frame (frame 1) change or open a new window. How do you make a link in one frame change the contents of the other ? and the link frame remain the same. Any help would be greatly appretiated.
