Link not opening in frame

Question

I made a left and right frame on page, (and another
Dreamweaver page called "Link_1")
I then Alt-Click on the left and right frame and give them
the name leftframe and rightframe.
I select an image in the left frame on the first document to
make a link.
I browse for the file "Link_1" for the content.
I Target it to rightframe.
I open it in Explorer and when I click on the link in the
left frame it opens in a new window instead of into the right
frame. How can I get it to open in the rightframe instead of a new
window?
Thanks

Change this -
<frameset rows="*" cols="195,816">
<frame src="Navigation.html" id="NavigationBar" />
<frameset rows="106,332" cols="*">
<frame src="SWSPIRsHeader.html" id="Header" />
<frame src="SWSPIRs.html" id="MainContent" />
</frameset>
</frameset>
to this -
<frameset rows="*" cols="195,816">
<frame src="Navigation.html" id="NavigationBar"
name="NavigationBar" />
<frameset rows="106,332" cols="*">
<frame src="SWSPIRsHeader.html" id="Header" name="Header"
/>
<frame src="SWSPIRs.html" id="MainContent"
name="MainContent" />
</frameset>
</frameset>
