Hi Linda

In your frameset document, have you given a name to each frame?
You need to name each frame so you can target it later on.  Eg:

<frameset etc etc etc>
    <frame src="abc.html" name="_body" etc>
    <frame etc>
</frameset>

You should also get rid of the underscore at the start of the
frame name.  Only special or reserved frame names start with an
underscore (eg "_self", "_blank", etc) - all other names should
start with a letter (although you can then use the underscore
character within the name - just not as the first character).

(And as a complete aside, don't forget to add a meaningful TITLE
to each frame, in the FRAME tag, and some useful NOFRAMES
content, to help users who can't use a frames enabled browser).

HTH!

Regards,
Donna
