need a refresh or something

[offthebanaster]

I have a site I am working on. Most of it is just navigating threw 1 page stuff,however I do have a place in it where I use a frame set. The problem I have is that when a person is in the section with the frame set, when they hit the link to home, the frame is still there(it loads the home page into the left frame) I know I have to use a reload or something along that line, but I cannot get it to work. Any help would be apriciated.
Thanks

look up the targeting of frames, this is a feature of frames that lets you target certain frames to load information.
Id tell you how to do it, but i dont really have the time at the moment!

but basically

<frameset>
<frame name="mainFrame" src="main.html">
</frameset>


then when you are doing a link do:

<a href="main.hmtl" target="mainFrame">Link</a>

or something similar, i hope im on the right track

to get rid of the frames, and show your home page with NO frames that aren't specifically specified inthe home page itself, make your link like this:<a href="index.hmtl" target="_top">Home</a>
You could also try _parent instead of _top
MSDN:
_parent The sURL is loaded into the current frame's parent. If the frame has no parent, this value acts as the value _self.
_top sURL replaces any framesets that may be loaded. If there are no framesets defined, this value acts as the value _self.
You can look at a description of all of these here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/properties/target.asp
OR, they give a better description of the same thing when they are talking about the open method. You can read those here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/methods/open_0.asp
