SYMPTOMS
When you click a hyperlink in your browser, another instance of the browser
is loaded.
CAUSE
An invalid frame name was specified as the target frame for the
hyperlink. An invalid name is a name that does not reference a frame
in the current frame set.
MORE INFORMATION
Most Web browsers allow you to target different frames within a frame
set. Assigning a target frame that exists within the context of the
current frame set activates this feature.
When a frame is assigned as a target, the name must exactly match a
frame that exists in the current frame set (note that these names are
case-sensitive). If the name of the frame is incorrect, a new
instance of the browser will be loaded.
For example, a frame set page with two frames aligned vertically
where the left frame is named "content" and the right frame is named
"main." If you want a hyperlink that is activated in the "content"
frame to load a specified page in the "main" frame, you must specify
"main" as the target frame.
If, however, you set a link in the "content" frame to display a page
in the "Main" frame (and you use an uppercase "M" instead of a
lowercase "M"), a separate instance of the Web browser will be
started.
