onClick="..."

"mainFrame" is the name of the frame you are trying to refer to, correct?
If you meant the top menu, then:
top.location.href=document.corpform.menu.options[document.corpform.menu.selectedIndex].value

yes. mainFrame is the frame i want to target. is this how the code should look then:

onClick="top.frames["mainFrame"].location.href=document.corpform.menu.options[document.corpform.menu.selectedIndex].value"value="view">

with that code it makes my "view" button short w/ no text and it dosent work then. what am i doing wrong?

Almost, you double nested your quotes.

onClick='top.frames["mainFrame"].location.href=document.corpform.menu.options[document.corpform.menu.selectedIndex].value' value="view">
