In the following multi-frame scenario the menu items will target different frames specified by the user. When the user clicks an item, the link will open in a different frame.
The following code defines the frameset (file main.htm):
First of all find out what is the name of your frame with contents. This is the frame where links should open. In the above code the frame name is "right":
<FRAME ... NAME="right">
The menu is loaded in the left frame as illustrated below (click on the image to open the example in a new window).
Menu items will target the "right" frame, so when a user clicks a menu item, the link will open in the right frame.

To define the target for a menu item, double click it in the left pane in Menu Maker."Home" item must target entire browser window, so its target is set to "_TOP":
