My main page has two top level frames with one of those subdivided and one of those subdivided again resulting in four total frames looking about like this: ------------------------------------ | | | | | 3A | | 2A | | | | | | | | | | | | |---------------------| | | | | | 3B | | | | ------------------------------------ | 1B | | | ------------------------------------ The initial web page only loaded SRC into 2A and 1B. Later, when the user clicked on certain links, they would be targeted to 3A and/or 3B (and 2A and 1B would have updated contents occasionally as well). This all worked first try under IE (on Mac or PC) but not under Netscape. The links that were targeted to 3A or 3B would instead show up in new windows. The solution was to initialize all four frames with contents at the time they were created. I created a tiny web page that was a single blank character to initially be displayed in 3A and 3B. Subsequent updates with real contents then worked correctly. I have no idea if this is the "correct" solution or not (this is my first experience with web stuff) but it worked for me.
