Can't get content to appear in the correct frames

I've been designing a page with three horizontal frames where the content on top and bottom stays the same and the content in the middle (mainframe) changes.

But then I decided that for two of the pages (catagories) I would like to have the middle frame broken into two parts with the left/center frame a list of bulleted links and with the content showing up and changing on the right center frame.

Unfortunately, I have been able to figure out how to do this because everytime I click on one of the bulleted links the whole center frame changes.

Does anyone have any insight into how I can make this work?

Thanks!
 
Are you setting the target correctly on the bulleted links you mentioned.

That is the first thing I would check.

In fact I've tried two separate methodes.

One was to create separate split frame sets with the bullet points on the right and the changing content on the left (this worked fine) and this frameset was then linked to appear in the main center frame. So it was a frame within my main frame and this didn't work. When i clicked the bullets they dissapeared and the content filled the whole center frame.

I also tried to do a framset with three horizontal frames and the middle split. This didn't work either for some reaon.

I might add that I'm pretty new at this so I'm probably missing somthing basic.
 
You have a frameset that is split into 3, top, left and main. What you need to do when yo are splitting the main frame in 2 is to load another frameset in the main frame.

Hope that makes some sense
