Javascript and frames - simplify navig for users

When it is in a frameless window.

Oh, I forgot to mention my other workaround: I just create a frame
definition set for each link. That is to say,

--BEGIN extract of FrameHR.htm--
<frameset cols="25%,*" border="1" bordercolor="#0033CC">
    <frame src="list.htm" name="list_of_files">
    <frame src="launder.htm" name="cible">
--END extract of FrameHR.htm--

However this is not very practical as hundreds of these files will need to be
created.

This=

--BEGIN CORRECT LINK IN EXCERPT of http://develop/hr/welcome.htm--
 ...vital information in the <a
href="http://develop/benefits/cws.htm"; target="cible"
onclick="parent.frames[0].location='benefits/list.htm'">Benefits report</a>
--END--
