About targeting a frame
To use a link in one frame to open a new page in another frame, you must set a target for the link.
Selecting a frame in which to open a page is called targeting a frame.
Each link in a frameset should have a target—a frame in which to open the page when the user
clicks the link. For example, the main frame might be the target for multiple links, so that the
content of the main frame changes each time the user clicks a link in the navigation frame.
Note: If you don’t specify a target for a link, Contribute uses the Default option and opens the new
page in the frame that contains the link.
When you add a link to a page in a frameset, you can indicate a target frame for the page you’re
linking to. The frameset designer should have given each frame a name so that you can select
specific frames as targets. You can also change the target after you’ve inserted the link by editing
the link properties (see “Editing links” on page 142).
