Not seeing the links in the menu that would load in the new frame, can you show just the portion of code that is relevant. I would expect to see foo

Does the menu js code produce the links?
Does that have code that targets the frame?

Eric

Yes the menus are produced by JS files and we have frames in the application.

Hi, sorry for my late response. Here is the code
after login the page is guided to jsp page which has frameset

The problem is with "homemenu.jsp" there they have written a "base tag" as like this in the head part and the document type is xhtml
<base target="dynamic" />
and the remaining code in body tag is

<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
<tbody>
<tr align="left"><td><a href="logout.jsp" target="_top" onclick="javascript:window.navigate('homemenu.jsp');" class="mainlevel">Home</a></td></tr>
