Frames: target attribute, hyperlinks won't open in target frame Options

[trip7cap]

I have a webpage (frametest.htm) that has three frames, A, B, and C.

I have a few test links in Frame A (which acts as my navigation bar).
When I click on a link, it opens a webpage (CNN.com as a test) in frame B.

At this point I tried to have any link clicked on the CNN page open as a new page in frame C using <Frame name="FrameB" target="FrameC"> in the main frametest.htm source code.

No matter what the CNN links always open up in frame B, the frame that has the CNN page loaded.
I tried using the _parent / _top / _blank attributes in the <Frame code and nothing worked.

Here's a picture in case this is confusing to read.

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

You can't control the target of framed sites.

Thanks for the reply Darin.
Is there no way to do it then even with java?

In javascript such cross-frame scripting is disabled for security reasons (unless all the pages are hosted on the same domain).
