Linking and Frames

Remember that if you are using frames, when someone clicks on a link, the webpage that they wish to visit will be viewable in the current frame. So, if you are linking to other sites, parts of your website will still be visible when someone clicks the link.

To prevent this, add the following to your <A HREF> tag: <TARGET="_TOP">. This will force the webpage to replace your entire page, not just the current frame.
