Changing Default Targets:

Sometimes you might get tired of always using links like the one in my last example, that are all in one frame always pointing to the other, and having to constantly indicate the name of the frame.
You can choose a default for all links to open up the pages they point to in a certain frame. In my case they will all open on the right.
Use the <BASE TARGET="name"> tag in the HEAD section of your html file of the page that has the links in it.
