frontpage 2000 - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

I'm using frontpage 2000 and made a drop down menu.
the menu is also on a frames page. the menu is on the left frame. i want to be able to open the drop down, choose the appropriate category and then have that open in the right frame. here's the problem, under form options where i should be able to choose the target, the target it greyed out. so, when i do choose the appropriate target, it won't work.
any suggestions?

make sure you have your frames named in your index page, like :

< frame name="menu" noresize src="left.html" >
< frame name="right" noresize src="main.html" >

In your left.html page add "< base target="right" >" somewhere in your <head> tags(I normally put it between my < /title > and < /head > tags).

Hopefully thats what your trying to do. Get the links in your left frame to open in your right frame? At least thats how I read, sorry for wasting your time if I was wrong.

Note: Your file names may differ from the examples I provided but hopefully you get the idea, and make sure you dont have all the spaces by the brackets I used, vBulletin didn't like the way I tried to originally put it in.
