HTML - Are Frames Useless?
Should I worry about frames? Or are they just useless?
Similar TutorialsHi All, AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Tables have got to be the most useless, but one of the most needed elements of a website and every time I venture out to create a site the majority of my problems are because of this, and in the end cost me mega bucks in wasted time - like now. I just simply need the width function to work like most people wish it would. If I set the TD to be 40px wide, I want it to be 40px wide - regardless of what is trying to be put there. If too large truncate it, if too small pad it. So bottom line is I have a table that is 850px wide, with 12 TD's being various sizes from 10px to 410px. If you maximize your browser it will be in the middle, if you resize the browser width, it will scroll. I would prefer no wrap in cells as well, but can live with it. If someone can show me a way to do this successfully that would be great as over the years I have just micky moused things, but that won't work here. If CSS is needed, no problem. Oh, the cells also have 1px borders on them. So it looks like an Excel Sheet. Thanks for the help IE7 sometimes displays messages in the yellow bar at the top of a page regarding active content running on the page. This happens when you have JavaScript running in the page. Also with Flash it's now required to click the Flash control to enable it. Some sites however, like Nokia.com for example have Flash embedded but IE7 doesn't ask me to click the thing to enable it. How do they do this? Is it also possible to tell IE7 that my JavaScript is not malicious and have it not display the message to people that will visit my site with IE7? I've heard many times "don't use frames, there is better ways to accomplish it", and I was wondering, is this just referring to "invisible" frames, or any frames? For example, look at Kingdom of Loathing. They use frames (or what appears to be frames) and I can't see how they could successfully make that site without. If I had to have all the screens scroll as one rather than separate, and couldn't resize when I needed to, it would be extremely annoying. So, frames are bad, or just the invisible ones? Hello, I have nearly finished my website now and feel I just have one thing left to complete it and be satisfied. I'd like to change my FAQ page and I think maybe using frames is the answer. Instead of the whole page scrolling down I'd like the page to be static with just the info scrollable. See my page here ozlotteriesonline.net/faq.html You will notice the rest of my site is fine because I have managed to put the information within the limits of the container but the FAQ doesnt fit. Just a couple of questions, How do I do it? Are there any negative side effects of having frames? Thanks in advance. Hey everybody! I have a website on a three row frameset (top,body,bottom). I've created a separate frameset for each page on my site. But is becoming a bit annoying. I want to know if it's possible to click on a link, from my main page and have that open one frameset with the same Top and Bottom but, depending on the button I click, is the page that appears as the body. I hope that's clear, I'm a newbie. I'll really appreciate if there are any ideas on the matter. Thanks!!! Cheers! Hi I need a page that has six eqaually sized frames displaying different sites with a scroll bar on each and no border.

I have a site that contains frames and I am applying IDs to the tables and providing links above to move further down the page but it also moves the outer frame but I would like the outer frame to remain still and for the link to scroll to the right place in the page in the inner frame. Is this possible? Thanks. I work with frames on my site. I have a link to another site where I want to open with another site in the same window. The problem is that of course the frames stay there. Only the main frame changes. How can I let disappear the frames, and open a new site in de same window? Hey. I have a little portfolio - and I want to add a frame (Atleast I think that's what I want to do - you can reccomend something else.) to the top of each of my portfolio contents. So the visitor isn't deviated away from my website. Am I making sense? Basically I want something, (if not exactly like it) like the frame on the top of every site in every google image search - like this: Really, I just don't want my visitors to have to press "back" in there browser to get back to my portfolio - instead, wouldn't it be better if I had that kind of frame and just stuck on some sort of banner linking to my portfolio - or even a text link. So, do any of you know of any source code, or way of doing it? Without ruining the layout? Thank you if you help. I need help to create the frameset with the structure in the attached file. Can anyone help me please? Hello guys, im new here =) So.. I was trying to make a frame with a scrolling bar, like this site >> www.roxdownload.net take a look =) What should i do? Thank you very much =D When designing websites in the past I have always used tables to organize content, but I've noticed that many professional templates don't use tables, but instead use Div Ids. Are Div ID's better and if they are can anyone tell me how to use them. I have a page that has a few images with links to differnet sites and I want them to link to another page with a frame at the top that shows the same inages that are smaller and the page of the website below it. I know how to do frames but I dont want to create a different page per link. (In short I want to have a link to a website open in another page with frames) Here is a basic idea for the front page http://www.techmatefl.com/pcp/ Here is the second page with the icons and the blank area is where I want the different sites that you choose to show http://www.techmatefl.com/pcp/site.html So it will be like a google image search in a way. Let me know if there is a way to do this with HTML, JS, or anything else. I'm wanting my website to not cover the entire screen. Like only be 85% of the width of screen so the a background would be visible around the edge of the actual content of the site. Can this be done with frames? I tried but couldn't get it to, but didn't know if there was some other way. I know it could be done with tables, I just thought it would be easier with frames...if possible. Thanks, Justin look i know that frames are bad but i have a good cause to use them XD all im wondering is - "For every one of the frames that i use, in the source file of the frame will i need to put the standard tags e.g. doctype, html, head, body, meta, title or can i just start with the code and it will work????" never used frames before so this is why im asking??? personally i think i will need to put in the standard tags because frames work differently to the PHP include function which practically copy and pastes the code into the file where you put your include function if im not mistaken??? Anyways thanks in advance Marcus =] hey last time i made a website was a few years ago, now a days, do people use frames? how is a website like hostmonster.com (my host) made? does that website have a frame? or did they something like css(which i have no clue what it is) Thanks guys, so far this forums has been helpful. Lock n delete. My net is stuffing up n it double posted. Please read my other post... |
