This article describes how to set the target frame for hyperlinks in frames pages in Microsoft FrontPage.

Set a Hyperlink Target Frame

When you click a hyperlink that is displayed in one frame of a frames page, the Web page pointed to by that hyperlink usually opens in another frame, called the target frame. To set the target frame for a hyperlink in FrontPage, follow these steps:

1. Start Microsoft FrontPage, and open your Web.
2. In Page view, open the frames page that contains the hyperlink that you want to modify, and then click the Normal tab.
3. Right-click the hyperlink that you want to set the target frame for, and then click Hyperlink Properties.
4. In the Edit Hyperlink dialog box, under Optional, click the Change Target Frame button that is next to the Target frame box.
5. In the Target Frame dialog box, click the target frame that you want in the Common Targets list, or click the frame that you want in the Current frames page area.
6. OPTIONAL: If you want to designate the target frame that you selected as the default target frame for all the hyperlinks on the page, click to select the Set as page default check box.
   
   Any pages pointed to by hyperlinks on the current page will automatically open in the specified target frame.
7. Click OK twice to close the dialog boxes.
