HTML Coding Question

[Andrew D. Gable]

What is the HTML code to break free from frames? My website is framed, and when you click on a hyperlink on my links page, my side frame with the menu is still present. How do I make it go?

<a href="LINK_URL_GOES_HERE" taget="_top">LINK_NAME_GOES_HERE</a>

The target="_top" is what breaks a link out of a frameset; target="_blank" will open the link in a new window.

Of course, being a profesional web developer, I'd say the real answer is "don't use frames".

I second that statement: don't use frames ... they suck, irritate surfers, and make things more complicated than they are.

However if you MUST use frames I'd use the "_blank" option simply because it will leave your framed site available while they look at the link.

And finally, there's almost no good reason to use them - they do nothing that can't be done without them, and usually better.

While we're bashing frames, don't use tables either (unless of course you're displaying tabular data).

Preach it, brothers! Just say no to frames!

Scratch that idea. There's too much stuff that's just about impossible to do reliably without tables, and trivial with.
