Uhm, er, ahem, no it won't. I'm sounding picky here, but if you don't put
the name of the frame between double quotes, it won't work. Therefore, the
syntax is as follows:
<A HREF="newpage.htm" TARGET="main">
Unlike grammatical flaws, where a transposition of a couple of letters often
does not obscure the meaning, a single missing or added element in syntax
breaks the code.
