I have a problem, so I figured I would ask the smartest people on the net.....the WHT members!

Anyway, I have a wesbite. It is in frames. It has a top frame, a left frame, and a center frame. I have sponsors. I have 3 sponsors. I have 3 banners to rotate in the TOP frame. This is the rotation script I am using:

http://www.simplythebest.net/info/javascript55.html

Anyway, if you click on the banners, ONLY the top frame changes, so you see about 2" of my sponsor's webpage. I tried adjusting the script, by adding target=_"top" to the end of the URL, but it doesnt work. If someone can help me with this, I will name my first born after you. :D Thanks, any help is appreciated! :)

Could you possibly post the URL so I could get a better idea of the problem?

Edit: Nevermind, I experienced the same problem before. Let me try to remember..

I found this which may be of some use: http://www.bravenet.com/reviews/frames/index.php ?

Hmmm..thanks, but that doesn't really help. I know how to make links open in a specific frame, or a new window, but the problem is that in the rotation script, it just has the links like this:

"banner1.gif","http://www.sponsor1.com",
"banner2..gif","http://www.sponsor2.com",
"banner3.gif","http://www.sponsor3.com");

So ya see, adding the target tags does nothing. :(

This should work:

<a href="http://www.******.com" target="_top">http://www.*****.com</a>

If not, contact me on aim/aol Gizmo7779

Yea, that doesnt work either. :( I dont have aim/aol, but I have MSN. screamin96@hotmail.com Thanks for the help so far guys.

You didn't name a frame "top" did you?

Do you need frames?

Actually I did name a frame "top", but in the code it is "_top". And I tried it with target=new also, and nothing happens.

And yea, I need frames. :(

I suggest going to: http://www.htmlhelp.com and post in their BB.

You are sure you tried it this way:

I've just tried it and it worked for me. Opened the link on top of all frames. I named my top frame "top" to make sure this is not the reason of the problem.

Ya know, I wasn't even doing it like that...I was adding the code at the end of the actual links! :lol: Thank you so much! I'll give it a try in the morning when I have time..thanks! :)

Guess my first born will be named Ahmad. :stickout

Actually I gave it a try, and it doesn't work at all. :( I copied the code just like you have it, and added my links and images. Its just blank on the page where the banner should be. :(

I thought for sure that was gonna work.

Change the frame name to something else besides _top or top, just some weird name. Then try it. Post your code up here please.

Strange. It worked fine for me.
Can you give me a URL to the page with the real links?
I'm sure it's just a small problem somewhere.
