I've stumbled upon a weird behaviour in my site.
The site is ASP VBSCRIPT retrieving data from an Access DB. The site is a work in progress and I am currently trying to make a genuine DB driven menu system using a frameset with a MAIN category menu in one frame and the SUB categories in another frame.

Usually I've only refered to ASP documents using the same frame or window. Therefore never seen the behaviour or problem:

When I retrieve link data from the DB in a standard <a href='page.asp?cat=test' target='MenuFrame'> The page I'm calling is opened IN A NEW window and not within the frame which I specify with the Target command.

The entire site uses ASP documents and not html.
I have never experienced this kind of behaviour before and I am wondering whether this has something to do with ASP or not. Also I get the same behaviour on different browsers like MSIE and Opera.

Any Ideas ?
the website URL is www.graphic.no/def.asp
The Main category is in the TOP frame
and the SUB category is in the Left fram.

OKAY I have worked around this issue, but I am still intersted in your views on the subject.

I solved the problem temporarily by using this little trick:

"<a href='#' onClick='javascript:window.open('" & r(0) & "','MenyFrame')>" & r(0) & "</a>"

Where r(0) is the URL sent from the DB and MenyFrame is the frame I wanted to send the information to.

You have misnamed your frame as "MenyFrame" (notice the "Y") in your frameset. This will cause a new window to open

Misspelled framename: Nope that was not the problem. Nor was my own solution the best working either. The solution however was very simple indeed.

I went back to the original code using the HREF tag and Target. But in order for the TARGET to work I added the following tag under HEAD:

<base target="FrameNAME">

This seems to do the trick

---  Copy and Paste from view source of your URL  ---

<frameset rows="111,*" cols="*" frameborder="NO" border="0" framespacing="0">
  <frame src="/top.asp" name="topFrame" frameborder="no" scrolling="NO" noresize marginwidth="0" marginheight="0">
  <frameset rows="*" cols="148,620,*" framespacing="0" frameborder="NO" border="0">
    <frame src="/menu.asp" name="MenyFrame" frameborder="no" scrolling="NO" noresize marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" id="MenyFrame">
    <frame src="/Main.asp" name="Hoved" frameborder="no" noresize marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" id="Hoved">
    <frame src="/right.html" name="rightFrame" frameborder="no" scrolling="no" noresize marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" id="rightFrame">
  </frameset>
</frameset>

---  End Copy and paste ---

Notice the first frame of the second frameset - name and id are MenyFrame, either change this to MenuFrame or use <a href='page.asp?cat=test' target='MenyFrame'> otherwise it will open in a new window.

Okay, I stand (or sit if you prefer) corrected.
I forgot to specify that the misspelling of the words
menuframe and menyframe are only in my first posting.
And that I have checked my entire site for that error.
And it isn't there.

Could this be some sort of browser cahce problem?
As I recently posted I've gotten it to work now, but
I still have no clue to why it didn't or does work.

Still, thank you for your entusiasm.
