Suppose you have a two-framed page like this:

----------------------------------------
|              |                        |
|              |                        |
|              |                        |
|              |                        |
|              |                        |
|              |                        |
|    menu      |      main page         |
|              |                        |
|              |                        |
|              |                        |
|              |                        |
|              |                        |
_________________________________________

From the menu page you add a link to an outer page to be appeared in the
main page window.

This link is as follows:

<A HREF="outpage.htm" TARGET=main>your outer page</A>

or

<A HREF="outpage.htm" TARGET="main">your outer page</A>

(the quotes around main make no difference to my browser)

On clicking on the menu item in the left window, the desired page appears
in the right window...


But, why are you linking from outside the frameset..??
Can't you import that page in the menu frame first?
