Subject: Tech: Html frames and making links
Trying to link to a page you want on a site that uses frames can be difficult. The url in the address bar is usually 'wrong' for specific pages.

As an Internet Explorer user, I've tended to make links in these situations by hovering my mouse over the link and noting the URL of the 'real' page as displayed in the bottom grey bar of IE.

That's always worked well in the past.

I've just been trying to make a link to Eliza Carthy recordings on the Topic website, and that approach doesn't seem to work.

The framed URL is www.topicrecords.co.uk/acatalog/index2.html but a mouse hover shows www.topicrecords.co.uk/acatalog/eliza_carthy.html

However, if you try the second of those links, the Eliza Carthy page flashes up for a second, but then it automatically reverts to the index2 page.

Any ideas?
