Actually, for the simple case of making a hyperlink load a document in
another frame, it's probably cleaner to use the "target" attribute of
the <a> tag, eg.
<a href="foo.html" target="frame_name">
But you can't go very far with frames before you need to whip out
JavaScript. As usual, I recommend the relevant O'Reilly titles:
HTML: The Definitive Guide (Musciano & Kennedy)
JavaScript: The Definitive Guide (Flanagan)
If you're doing Web development without these on your desk, then either
you have a better memory than me, or you're missing out.
