My site: www.brokenwestranch.webs.com

On my computer, the links in the left and right side open in the center like they're supposed to, but other people are telling me that they don't work for them, that they open in new windows. Why is this happening?

My frames html:
<html>
<frameset cols="13%,74%,13%">
<frame src="http://brokenwestranch.webs.com/leftside.htm name=leftside noresize>
<frame src="http://brokenwestranch.webs.com/center.html name=center noresize>
<frame src="http://brokenwestranch.webs.com/right.htm name=rightside noresize>
</frameset>
</html>


My links html:
<FONT color="05ac8c"><b>Gettin' Started;;</FONT><b><FONT size=1><br>
--<a href=http://brokenwestranch.webs.com/center.htm target=center>Home</a></p>
--<a href=http://brokenwestranch.webs.com/rules.htm target=center>The Rules</a></p>
--<a href=http://www.boards2go.com/boards/board.cgi?user=bwrjoinhuman target=center>Join [Human]</a></p>
--<a href=http://www.boards2go.com/boards/board.cgi?user=bwrjoinhorse target=center>Join [Horse]</p>
--<a href=http://brokenwestranch.webs.com/characters.htm target=center>Characters</a></p>
--<a href=URL HERE target=center>Map</a></p><br></font>

You should quote at least those URLs that contain a query string (question marks and equal signs), but that's the only mistake I see and I doubt that causes the problem. Could you link to the online page? Maybe everything isn't exactly the same there.

Ah! You have unmatched quotes here. You need the closing quotes too. There you have it.

Absolutely. That and any other peculiarities. If you use quotes (and it's good to do so), they denote the beginning and end of the value. As you have it the first src looks like this.

src="http://brokenwestranch.webs.com/leftside.htm name=leftside noresize><frame src="

The are no name and noresize attributes. They are part of the value for src.
