Given that it is an intranet application where Javascript is enabled on the
server, there should be no problem.
(I am not sure that Java is relevant - it doesn't appear to be used at all)

The links, as you have written them, will go directly to the page listed and
overwrite the open page.

Do you want to open the new page and leave the calling page open?
If so, try this
var menu5=new Array(
'<a href="page0.html" target="_blank" >Administrative</a>'
, '<a href="page1.html" target="_blank" >Computers</a>'
, '<a href="page2.html" target="_blank" >HRM</a>'
, '<a href="page3.html" target="_blank" >Training</a>'
, '<a href="page4.html" target="_blank" >Management</a>' )
where page0.html , page1.html are the pages you want to open.

BTW, style="color: #000000" is unnecessary - this is the default text colour
of black

However you use the phrase "body frame" which makes me wonder - do you have
a framed site?
If you do, then you will have to code this differently

If not, you would still want to ensure that page0.html, page1.html, etc have
navigation back to the page which opens them. A simple link back could be
<input type="button" value="Home" onclick="location.href='index.html'" /> ,
but you may already have a navigation scheme set up

The default colour is not necessarily black. In my installation of
FireFox the default colour is Orange, with a default background colour
set to grey. I have set this up so that any page without text or
background colour settings can be spotted easily. It is surprising how
many web sites do not have text colours and background colours set,
relying on the "out of the box" defaults of browsers. FYI, the "out of
the box" default background colour in NN4 is grey, so defaults cannot be
relied on to be black or white in all browsers.

Java is not an issue since Java is not used.

JavaScript may still be an issue. Enabling JavaScript on the server is
not any help, since the JavaScript runs on the clients, not on the
server - all your *users* must have JavaScript (not Java) enabled in
their browsers.

Some IT departments disable the execution of javascript on client machines.

Hi Trevor, yeah I'm using a frames page that has 4 parts - a top
banner, three frames underneath this - the left hand side is the
navigation menu, the middle one is the body and the right hand side is
a links menu. When an option is chosen from the left hand side
navigation menu, I would like just the middle body frame to change
only. I'm not sure how this will work though! Could you please assist
me on the coding?
Thank you!

Add a <base target="framename"> tag to the <head section of the
navigation frame, where framename is the name of the frame with the
content.

Example:

<html>
<head>
<title>blah</title>
<base target="maincontent">
</head>
<body>
Navigation
</body>
</html>
