My page opens up in the wrong frame?!

I have a 2 frame vertical webpage. The left side is reserved for navigation buttons. I created an email form (that is working properly, after much hair pulling). The problem is that once a user clicks on the "submit" button, a "thank you for your comments" page is supposed to load. I have created the page, inserted it into the html on the form. Everything seems to be working except for one problem. The "thank you" page is loading in the LEFT frame, covering up all my navigation buttons. I have tried everything my tiny little mind can think of to get this "thank you" page to open up in the same frame as the original form.... but have been sadly, unsuccessful.

Can anyone help? Please?

Yeah, the same thing happened to me.

1. Right-click the form.
2. Choose Form Properties.
3. When the Form Properties dialog box appears, click the
...Pencil button in teh lower right corner.
4. In the Target Setting box, specify the name of the
frame where you want the form results to appear.

Jim, Thank you for the feedback, believe me it is ALWAYS appreciated. :)

I tried your suggestion and have come to the conclusion that my website does not want to thank anyone for their comments (well at least not in the right frame, anyway).

There are 4 selections in that pencil tab you were talking about, "Main, Self, Parent, Top and Blank". Determined to use if nothing else, process of elimination, I have tried all 5. Each one I saved, published and viewed online at my site. Each time, my ThankYou page opens up in the left frame. :(

Do you have an "if all else fails" tip that you can share?

Provide a URL of the page

Check your frame targets

Your right frame (main) should be set target="main" and you have <base target="contents">
- change it in HTML view to <base target="main">
And your contactus.htm page is missing a </body> tag

PS
your left frame has <base target="_self"> and it should be <base target="main">
