Now we need to use our frames!

Our hero has also written a fine page called life.html. It looks like this

 

I work. I sleep. I walk my dog. On sudays, I eat with mom.

They want the life link to make this page appear in the right frame. we do it like this. in navigate.html, when you write out the link, we add a target with the name of the frame in it

<a href="life.html" target="main">

Now their page looks like this!

Click on me to see this actual frameset!

and so on for each navigation element.

There are other targets you can use other than a name of a frame. You can use

target="_self" to have it load in the same frame

target="_top" to have it load on top of the frameset, thus wiping out the frames

target="_blank" to open a new window

and target="_parent" to open it in the top of the frameset . This tends be useful if you are nesting frames. otherwise _top is fine.
