OK I'll copy and paste the HTML I have for the contents frame.<br />
In the frame is a flash menu bar but when I click on one of the links the page opens in that frame.. how do I get it to open on the main part? needs something like TARGET="main" doesn't it? well didn't seem to work for me.<br />
<br />

Sorry, yes your problem is that you are missing the correct targeting.<br />
<br />
If you look at the code you have you see that at the end of your links in the params you have eg this<br />
.swf?tarframe=_self<br />
<br />
Change/add to<br />
.swf?tarframe=main<br />
instead if your have named your larger frame "main"<br />
<br />
BTW, another nonrelated issue, when you have links with ? in them you must escape all your & with &<br />
You might as well fix that when you are adding the correct tarframe values<!--content-->i see, thanks alot Stefan<br />
