I'm learning how to use Front Page 2000.
I have a two frame page, the top frame is called 'header' and the main frame is called 'main'.

I have the base target set to 'main' for the header, and normal hyperlinks work.

When I insert a hover button from the insert menu, I put the same hyperlink in and all but there's nowhere to choose the target frame. So when I click on it, it breaks out of the frames.

How can I overcome this?

Hello there! Go into the properties of your hover button and where the "link to" line appears, click the BROWSE button. A new window will open with an "optional" area near the bottom. You will see a Target Frame area. This is where you tell the hover button which frame the link should appear in. Simply adding the link to the first box without going into BROWSE will not allow you to choose where you want the link to open. It's kind of misleading if you don't know it's there. Hope this helps!

Thanks. The page default is 'main' there as well but I tried typing in 'main' manually and it worked. It's wierd stuff.
