You can do this with client side scripting (usually JavaScript). Here
is an example function to set the url for three frames:

<!-- hide script from old browsers
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

function load3frames()
{
parent.frames[1].location.href = 'url1.htm';
parent.frames[2].location.href = 'url2.htm';
parent.frames[3].location.href = 'url3.htm';
}
</SCRIPT>
-->

You could then assign this function to the OnClick event of a link or
button. With a bit of playing around you can pass the frame numbers
and URLs through the OnClick event too so that different frame
contents are loaded according to button/link clicked.
