I load info into frames using a function similar to this:
function loadSite(section) {
		 alert('You are about to load new info')
		
window.FRAME.href="http://199.382.56.44/JavaScript/Newframe1.htm";
	}


where FRAME is the name of the frame. 
I am pretty sure there are other ways but I don't know what the 
differences are.
