Yes it is very possible.  Make sure you follow case for the target value,
and match it to the case of the frame name.  It is also possible to set a
default target for the page, but I'm not sure if this proceedure is browser
specific.  Also, make sure the frame name you are targeting is the name of a
frame currently on screen.

link?

Not with HTML without some trickery.  (See my post a few up from here) I'm
under the impression this can be done with JavaScript or VBScript, although
I've never played with them.  I try to stay away from things the visitor may
have turned off.
