Solution

  • Firstly I would suggest a valid doctype declaration, unless of course you're going for HTML5.

    Secondly, I would suggest your enclose your <base> tag inside <head></head> tag

    Thirdly, if you're using either XHTML or HTML 5 (as it seems you're currently doing), you will need to close your <base> tag with </base>

    As for answering your actual question, you'll need to use the target attribute, as follows:

    <base target="main.htm" target="_parent">

    Please note that, as far as I know you can't have a link from Frame A open in Frame B, unless it's a parent frame - if you understand what I mean. To get a full understanding of what the target attribute does, check out this link.
