Thank you for answering my questions. It has helped me proceed with my project. Now I have another question.
In my project page '1' has links to pages 2,3,4, etc. Page '2' has frames. Frame 'a' has links that send content to frame 'b'. How do I link back to page '1' from page '2' frame 'a'?
When I try it I get page '1' in frame 'a'.

Hi Sam,
Frames aren't supported in current HTML.
Do you mean Iframes?
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

What are lframes? I created frames in the HTML editor with the frame designer tool. And what do you mean that 'frames' are not supported in current HTML. I am able to view the site I am building with my Chrome browser. Also the Firefox browser and Microsoft Edge browser.

Ordinary frames can still be used in the HTML Editor, but it is an old, even obsolete way of creating websites. I haven't used it for the last about 20 years. And to be able to help you, I actually need to think back a bit.

Also, your explanation seems a bit confusing to me, I don't quite understand how your frame-set has been set up. A typical, 'old-fashioned' frame-set would have something like a 'head window', a 'sidebar window' and a 'main window', or something like that. When I did this, I used to have navigation outside of the frames. (Vertical navigation was very much 'in' in those days.) Maybe if you 'named' your frame windows, or sent a picture, it would be easier to understand.
Ha en riktig god dag!

My project is not complete but I have posted it at sonic.net/artisans/memel.
If you click on content, then assays, you will get a split screen made with frames.
Links on the left side send data to the right side.
On the bottom is a link to return to the contents page.
But it just sends that page to the right side.
What is the code to return to the contents page?

I would try changing the following line

<a href="../contents.html" target="assays"><font size="4">CONTENTS</font></a>

to

<a href="../contents.html" target="top"><font size="4">CONTENTS</font></a>
