Discussion Overview
The discussion revolves around targeting specific frames in an HTML frameset to open pages within those frames. Participants are seeking solutions to ensure that links open in designated frames rather than the default frame or the link page itself. The scope includes technical explanations and troubleshooting related to HTML frame targeting.
Discussion Character
- Technical explanation
- Debate/contested
- Homework-related
Main Points Raised
- One participant suggests using
<frame name="contentFrame"> to define frames and then using <a href="..." target="contentFrame"> to link to the desired frame.
- Another participant expresses difficulty in getting the links to work, indicating that they placed
<frame name=> in the content page instead of the frameset page.
- A participant notes that naming frames in the content pages will not work and emphasizes the need to define frames in the frameset page.
- One participant expresses frustration, stating that despite renaming frames, the links still open in the link page, suggesting a possible misunderstanding of the setup.
- Another participant requests to see the code being used to better diagnose the issue, indicating that the lack of visibility into the code makes it difficult to provide assistance.
Areas of Agreement / Disagreement
Participants generally agree on the need to define frames in the frameset page, but there remains disagreement and uncertainty regarding the specific implementation and troubleshooting steps, as some participants continue to experience issues.
Contextual Notes
Limitations include the absence of specific code examples from the original poster, which hinders the ability of others to provide targeted assistance. There may also be misunderstandings regarding the structure of the HTML frameset and how links are intended to function within it.
