I am trying to set up a three window framed page. Actually, I've got that
part. Now I want to find a way to click on one of the links in the Navbar area
and have it replace the documents in the Sidebar and Main area. Is there a way
to make one anchor serve two links (simultaneously)? If not, I
take it I have to have the link say target="_top"  and start off with
another frameset?

Chapter 15.6.3 Multiple Frames in One Link

has the solution you need.

Summarised: Instead of replacing two documents, replace the single enclosing
frame document that holds the two documents you want replaced. With only HTML,
you just have multiple frame documents. With JavaScript, the multiple frame
documents can be generated dynamically. But this can be difficult to get
right. Use the first option for now.

Hope this helps!
