Brian,
Can you give us a link to the page where you are having the problem?
What about the frameset code?
Have you followed the instructions in the using frames helps? The link to the DHTML helps is: http://www.coffeecup.com/free-dhtml/help/

Bill I tried to up load the 4 pages I am Working on butwas not successful and the page I went was the same one that support gave me ..the second part
<frameset rows="30%,*" border="0">
<frame name="navigation" src="menu.html" marginwidth="10"
marginheight="10" scrolling="auto" frameborder="5" noresize>
<frame name="main" src="intro.html" marginwidth="10"
marginheight="10" scrolling="auto" frameborder="5">
</frameset>.
I am using menu and intro above in the frames
this is:what doesn't seem to work changing any of navig is ok but anything else puts the menu on the main or intro frame ....
and opens the link in the same frame and loses the menu .....
var FirstLineFrame='navigat '; // Frame where first level appears
var SecLineFrame='space '; // Frame where sub levels appear
var DocTargetFrame='space'; // Frame where target documents appear
<frameset rows="30%,*" border="0">
<frame name="navigation" src="menu.html" marginwidth="10"
marginheight="10" scrolling="auto" frameborder="5" noresize>
<frame name="main" src="intro.html" marginwidth="10"

Brian,
The menu code is set to go to a frame named "navigat" and you do not have a frame with that name. Computers (and the browsers that run on them) are literal, and you need to make sure everything matches.
The same thing applies for where the document is to appear. The menu wants to put it in a frame named "space" so change that to the frame for your document.

Brian,
Here are you menu lines:
var FirstLineFrame='menu'; // Frame where first level appears
var SecLineFrame='intro'; // Frame where sub levels appear
var DocTargetFrame='intro'; // Frame where target documents appear
Here are your frame name:
<frame name="navigation"
<frame name="main"
The menu code mush match the HTML code. Try changing the menu code to read:
var FirstLineFrame='navigation'; // Frame where first level appears
var SecLineFrame='main'; // Frame where sub levels appear
var DocTargetFrame='main'; // Frame where target documents appear
That should put the menu in a frame named navigation, and allow the sub-menus to appear over the main frame. That should put all the linked pages into the main frame.
Some other things you should do:
Change the doctype on your index.html to read:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Frameset//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/frameset.dtd">
since that is the doctype for frames.
You can also remove both the <body> and </body> tags.
Is there any reason you NEED to use frames? You can accomplish the same thing as your menu frame and main frame by making the menu a javascript file and putting a single line of code on each page in the location of your menu.
