Targeting:
When you select a link on a web page it opens up the new page in the same window or you can set it to open the page in a new window.
When you click on a link in a frame you can open a page in another frame. This is great for navigation where you would select a navigation item and a content are would load a new page.

To control what page opens where you need to name your frames (not the file name) and then target, or point to those names in your link.
•if you don't set a target, the page will open in the same frame as the link.
Target choices: (in the properties panel):
Naming Frames:
So, first you must name your frames. Name them with no spaces or hyphens, underscores are o.k.:
1. Select the frame you want to name in the Frame Panel.
2. Type a name in the name text box of the properties panel
3. Press Enter (Return)
4. Do this for all frames on your page.
Setting the Targets:
1. Click in the frame that you want the link in and select the linking text or image.
2. Enter in your linking html page in the link box and select a target from the Target pull-down box.
*note: you should see the names of the new frames you just named in the steps above for NAMING TARGETS.
