OK, let me know whether or not this does what you're wanting....<br>
try using this code (midified to match your preferred frame sizes of course) in you framesets page:<br>
<br>
<html><br>
<head><br>
<title>My First Frames Page(just kidding)</title><br>
<meta name=description content="a brief (255 characters or less) description of your page (the one that will be occupying the largest portion of the screen)"<br>
<meta name=keywords content="some keywords or phrases (separated, by, commas,) to point to your site on search engines"><br>
<frameset rows="20%,*"><br>
<frame name=master src=
<frame name=slave src=
</head><br>
<noframes><br>
<body><br>
<a href=
Here</a> to see our site for non frames-enabled browsers<br>
</body><br>
</noframes><br>
</html><br>
<br>
and use the following HTML tag for the link on your menu bar that points to the page to be displayed in the main frame:<br>
<br>
<a href=
TARGET=SLAVE>Click Here</a><br>
<br>
<br>
I hope this is what you were wanting...if not, then post your question in the Javascript forum and I'll try to answer it (using JavaScript of course) there.<br>
