IE 7 ignores frameset target

[sagerides]

i've had my band's website up and running for quite sometime now and it has worked great in just about every browser.

[url]http://www.ramblinsouls.com/main2
[/url]
i used a frameset on this page so that i could keep the mp3 player and main navigation up through out the site.

<FRAMESET ROWS="170,*" BORDER="0" FRAMEBORDER="0" LEFTMARGIN="10" TOPMARGIN="0" MARGINWIDTH="0" MARGINHEIGHT="0">
<FRAME SRC="http://ramblinsouls.com/head.html" NAME="TOPNAV" SCROLLING="NO" NORESIZE BORDER="0" FRAMEBORDER="0" LEFTMARGIN="100" TOPMARGIN="0" MARGINWIDTH="0" MARGINHEIGHT="0" BORDERCOLOR="#000000"></FRAME>
<FRAME SRC="http://www.ramblinsouls.com/welcome.html" NAME="MAIN" SCROLLING="YES" BORDER="0" FRAMEBORDER="0" LEFTMARGIN="0" TOPMARGIN="0" MARGINWIDTH="0" MARGINHEIGHT="0"></FRAME>
</FRAMESET>


i don't know why, but now, in IE 7... when you click on one of the main navigation links (which are contained in "head.html", i'll post the html at the bottom), it opens in a new window!

can anyone shed some light on this one for me?


thanks for your time,

Rick
