Problem w Frames returning to home

[Don]

Hello group.

I made a FP site residing on my PC. I have an index page (home) that leads
into a banner and contents frame page. At the bottom of the frampage I have
a link returing to home (index.html). My home page is simple text and a
picture, not a frames page.

When I test this in FP using the design mode, my link returns from the
framepage to the home page. However, when I check all my links without using
FP, trying to return to home sets the index page INTO the main frame.

How do I get this to simply return to home (index.html) and leave the
framespage? I know this is probably a simple one for you experts out there.
This seems my only drawback using FP 2003 now.

Thanks,
Don

Not an expert, but I have learnt a few things from the experts on this NG

Try this
<a href="#" onclick="window.top.location='index.html'">Return to Home Page
</a>

In the hyperlinks dialogue, set the target frame for the link to Home page
to "Whole Page (_top)"

In code view you will see a link similar to:
<a href="index.html" target="_top">Home</a>

Thanks Trevor. I tried R. Symonds method first and it worked. I thank both
of you though, bigtime. It's been a frustration but I also knew it was a
FP2003 "rookie" oversight.

Set target frame to Whole Page. That did it. Thanks much.
