my question is:

it is a video game website.

it has a main page, that has a frameset. one frame is the menu bar. the other is the content.

i have got a menu at the top of the page.

the menu has got a few links (options/buttons) e.g. pc, wii, ps3, xbox.

i want the user to press the button on the menu bar (e.g. pc) and in the contents the appropiate page will appear (the page that i have e.g. pc page).

how do i do that? how do i direct a button to open another page (in the content), while using frames in teh same context.

please html solution only

For open another page (in the content), while using frames in teh same context.

You should write on page:
Example: Wii Page

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Wii Page</title><style type="text/css">
<!--
.style2 {font-size: 100px}
-->
</style></head>

<body>
<div align="center">
  <p><strong><span class="style2">WII Site</span></strong></p>
  <p><a href="http://www.google.com" target="_blank">LINK TO ANOTHER PAGE OUT</a></p>
</div>
</body>
</html>

Also, take a look at jQuery, it is designed for doing things exactly like that.

@NewOrder: If you could solve with the data presented, then change the forum resolved.

The target attribute is becoming/is deprecated, and frames are just a bad idea. This was written two years ago, but remains accurate today.

The best way to accomplish this is through a scripting language such as JavaScript, or as VulcanDesign said, jQuery - a JavaScript library that takes away the long coding for animated web effects.
