Navigation Bar and Frames

D

I'm trying to create an artists portfolio site using frames. I want the
thumbnails of the artwork to appear in the left frame, so that when the
thumbnail is clicked, the larger image appearsin the main frame. I created a
Navigation bar that is in the top/banner frame. When I click the 'Home' link
on the bar, instead of taking me back to the 'Home' page (index.htm) in a
full page view (not a frame), it opens the home page in the left frame. I
can't seem to resolve this; it's really defeating me. anyone have any
suggestions?

FP navigation components are not designed to be used with frames.

Thanks for responding. So, how might I add a set of links in a frameset to
navigate the website? I've tried creating a custom/standalone button that
links back to the home page; it has the same problem-even though I set the
hyperlink to the home page/index.htm, it still opens the home page in the
left frame. Am I doing something wrong here? Or, should I simply design the
whole site to function within the frameset?

Use the target attribute of the <a> tag to target the home page to the
desired frame.

You have to manually create your navigation structure using images or text, etc.
