I'm using FrontPage 2000 and have a page divided into two frames. On the first frame I need to use a hover button to open a page in the second frame. This works with ordinary hyperlinks, but using a hover button the target page is displayed but with no frame!
I need it to display properly in the second frame, if this is possible. I have tried changing the target frame settings in the hyperlink dialogue box, but none of these work.

Appreciate any help.

welcome.
You may consider using another method to the Hover Button. FrontPage no longer supports this feature. Hover buttons are java applets and do not perform well in a lot of the modern browsers. Check out the tips and tricks section as there is a link to an online generator for doing CSS mouse overs. Also in the Freebie section is a link to mouse over images. Or you can download the Free Webmasters tools program. There may be a generator in that you can use.

When setting the link to open in the other frame. Each frame will have a name, you have to set the target to open to that name. When viewing the hyperlink properties there should be a button for setting the target. I think in FP2000 it is a small square button to the right of the link box.
