I think I know what you mean, do you want to open something in a new window, if so use this target="_blank" .

what frame are you trying to load it into?
that target option loads it on the entire site (_parent),
but if you want it in a frame (IFRAME or not), simply put target="main_site" or something like that (depending on what name your FRAMES when setting them up)

Well the tough thing is that I am allowed very mlimited access to the coding of the site so I don't know what the frames are named but thanks for the quick replys as they gave me what I needed to go back to the hosting Company.
:) Thanks
or is that something that I can find out by reading the code of the site?

If the site is in existence and the frames are there you can use 'view' menu and 'source' and the frames should be named. NB don't use right click cos that gets you the frames source.

If you can't identify them post it in here and we'll have a look. code or address.

However, I thought if you were already in a frameset and had a normal link without a target it opened in the same frame...

The rest of the links all have target="_parent as the target so now what? Is it because this is an acrobat web page?

Actually we need the page which mentions 'FRAMESET' in the code - it should be quite short. If you open the site it's to go in, use view source off the view menu, you should get it.

Can I just check something? are you designing a page to go into a frameset, in which case I don't think you need to specify a target. Or, do you want to create a framest to have your logo on top?

Rereading your original post, try removing the target - use:
<li><a href="http://tponline.realty-wire.com/Users/542169EE-F87C-4EBE-9B0B-3D8D6C009751/{49C368C4-D5D2-49B4-9E7B-3722714A1E17}/{49C368C4-D5D2-49B4-9E7B-3722714A1E17}.pdf">Read some of my client testimonials.</a>

middle is the name of my target frame you can call it what ever you want but the frame needs a name (TopLeft, BottomRight etc..) and not a default one.

TARGET="middle"
