    Frame problem

    OK, OK, I know that people don't like frames, but my site uses them by default as part of the design theme I use, and I don't want to have to undergo a major redesign just for a minor tweak. Also the search engines seem to give me excellent ratings as it is.

    Here's the problem:

    If you look at my site www.nickdobsonwines.co.uk you will see down the left-hand side a column of cork images which are links to brochure sections. The bottom one "Wines" links to the shop. If you go into the shop you will see several catalogue sections. Let's choose one as as example for the rest of my spiel - let's use "Swiss Wines". Anyway - back to the homepage. In the middle you will see some text including a link to the "Swiss Wines" section - just to the left of the bunch of grapes on the RHS. Clicking on the link launches the "Swiss Wines" page OK, and adds a section list on the LHS - but it doesn't lose the column of corks - the brochure section list - which it does do if you access the "Swiss Wines" page through the "Wines" cork on the homepage (and which is what I want). This is at present a minor irritation, but if there's a quick and easy way of overcoming this I'd like to do so. FYI the link is done by embedding the following code on the homepage, used those "!!< .... embedded html.... >!! markers.

    here's the link code:-

    ....... a comprehensive range of <a href="http://www.nickdobsonwines.co.uk/acatalog/Swiss_Wines.html"><b><u>Swiss wines</u></b></a>, and will shortly have some .............

    The URL referred to is the one that one is taken to when the "Swiss Wines" page is selected in the normal way (i.e. via the cork).

    What appears to be happening is that the link is working but only within the main frame - and that the corks are in another one which is unaffected. Now there may be some way in which the html for the link may be tweaked to overcome this - I'm showing my limited knowledge of html I'm, afraid - or maybe there's some other easy fix.

    FYI I'm using design theme 14.

    All input gratefully received.

    Regards

    Hi Nick

    You just need to include target="_top" into the code for the link.

    e.g.

    <a href="http://www.nickdobsonwines.co.uk/acatalog/Swiss_Wines.html" target="_top"><b><u>Swiss wines</u></b></a>
