Use the target attribute:

<a href="http://www.scriptingok.com" target="frameName">this opens in a frame</a>

Your frame should be called "frameName"

<frameset>
  <frame name="framaName">
  <frame name="otherFrame">
</frameset>

Thank you for your quick answer. I forgot to mention the important things

. Right now the target is "win2" because the frameset is on a popup window. Does that make sense now?

Why dont you link to a document with a frameset, each frame with the desired document?
Like having many documents:

doc1:
frameset
frame1: src=scriptingok
frame2: src=google

doc2:
frameset
frame1: src=google
frame2: src=google

doc3:
frameset
frame1: src=scriptingok
frame2: src=home

etc... and just link to the needed frameset.

The problem is that some frames will be changed dinamically so I dont know what will be there then :roll:

I suggest to use javascript:

This is to open the popup window. The important thing is that the new window is an object called "nw". Create it and name it as you wish, but that's the important stuff so...

<input type="button" value="create popup" onclick="nw=window.open('theFrameset.htm','_blank');" />

...You can easily access its properties and elements:

<a href="#" onclick="nw.document.getElementById('frame1').src='thisGoesInsideTheFrame.htm';">fake link</a>

And this is how the code for the popup window may look like:

<frameset>
  <frame name="frame1" id="frame1">
  <frame name="frame2" id="frame2">
</frameset>
