problem targeting frames!

I'm currently doing a basic site but am having difficulties. The site is
laid out using 3 frames. one for the header and then split into to for
navigation and content areas. I have a navigation menu in the left frame
which is meant to open the links in the right frame but for some reason they
are opening in a new window?!?!

I have selected the content are as the target but it makes no difference.

Here is a link to the files if it will help:
[L=index.html]http://www.geocities.com/welly_59[/L]

and a link to the navigation html itself:
[L=navigation]http://www.geocities.com/welly_59/untitledframe-1.html[/L]

I know the site is currently very basic but i need to get this sorted
first!!! cheers for any help!

forgot to say that at the moment only the first link in THE CLUB section is
currently uploaded. click on ABOUT THE CLUB, and you will se what i mean
about the link opening in new window!

"any help GREATLY appreciated!!

You have not assigned a NAME to the content frame. Change this:

<frame src="UntitledFrame-2.html" frameborder="no" id="main_frame" />

To this:

<frame src="UntitledFrame-2.html" frameborder="no" id="main_frame"
name="main_frame" />

I upgraded to DW 8 and now I have to write name="framename" manually in the
code window, I have never ever had to do that before!?! This has always worked
fine in previous versions (as far as I know). Is there a way to fix this in
preferences that I have missed? I remember having troubles with site root and
document relative linking when I upgraded to v7, but that were quite easy to
fix when I searched the forums. Macromedias helpfiles really sucks!

If I have a frameset open in DW, and select a link, I can choose the
target from the drop down list in the property inspector, just like in
previous versions. I don't know why you cannot.
