I want to to set up a simple html select (dropdown) in frame 1 (‘nav’) which will navigate within frame 2 using page jumps. Such as index.asp#middle

```auto

<frameset ROWS="5%,95%">
	<frame frameborder = 0 name="nav" target="main" src="nav.asp">
    
	<frame frameborder = 0 name="ews" target="main" src="index.asp">
</frameset>

```

You want what’s usually called a “jump box” that targets frames.

Something like this [pagetutor.com&nbsp;-&nbsp;pagetutor Resources and Information.](http://www.pagetutor.com/jump_box/index.html)

If that doesn’t work for you, you can find other examples by Googling “jump box” “frames”
