HTML - Is It A Good Idea To Use Frameset ?
Just stumbled across Frameset and realised how i could use it in my website to achieve modularity & abstraction, stops code duplication. Also prevents random browsers to look at my web code, good design, right?
I've got a navigation bar that is the same for all pages so i dont want to replicate my code throughout my pages to achieve the same layout. So is Frameset good or bad? Similar Tutorialshello; I only recently discovered iframes, that you could load a webpage into them; I have decided to rebuild my online portfolio whereby when a user clicks a thumbnail the appropriate web app will load into the iframe; however before I go too far down that road I thought maybe someone could mention some pros and cons; one specific question: is there an alternative?? thanks dsdsdsdsd So I designed some websites in Photoshop and I'm still learning it, but recently I saw many people talking about Fireworks and how it is a way better way of producing web design work than Photoshop. They say FW is a more efficient tool, as it was strictly built to create web design. That in terms of web design, it can do everything Photoshop can, but in a more simple way. Is it true? If it is, I think learning Fireworks is a good idea. But..there are soooo many Photoshop tutorials and so much less Fireworks tutorials. And that's my second question: Can I apply Photoshop web design tutorials to Fireworks? I mean, can I watch/ read Photoshop tutorials and figure out how to do the exact same things in Fireworks? Ok I've always been told with the age old myth of "you should never keep your domains and hosting with the same company." It was something about if they change their rules they can lock you in or something weird? Because of this I have always had all of my domains with godaddy and bounced around with hosting & now I have my hosting with hostgator. Whats the real scoop on this? Hi, thank you in advance for reading and offering advice. I hope I'm using the correct forum. I am returning data from a MySQL database. I want to be able to display this data, without writing out each and every HTML element. I figure if I transform it into XML, I can write something in CSS that formats it in the same way. Does anyone know how good this is, or if I'll simply have an easier time of creating HTML templates for each table that I return? Thank you! I've made a lot of progress on my website: Bands 4 Babes but I'm still struggling with getting everything to look the same on all the different browsers. Basically what I'm finding is: Chrome and Safari (PC) - Displays exactly as I want it to Firefox 3.5.2 (PC) - Displays properly except for the Home link in the purple bar is a few PX too far left and the --- above home is a line too high Firefox and Safari on Mac - FF exhibit the same problem as above, but most fonts (sizes and faces) are off on the mac versions. This also throws off alignments of other stuff. IE8 - Two solid lines on top and bottom of page are a few pixels too low which ruins the continuity of the box frame I created. If somebody could take a look at my code and give me some thoughts on what the problem is I would really appreciate it. Thanks. Hi there, I have to create Balochi Language Dictonary. For this I have 23 Alphabates and 800 pages. Via dreamweaver I hv created a frameset contains three frames. TOP Frame contains page numbers Right Frame contains ALPHABATES MainFrame will have to display scanned pages according to alphabate and relavent page numbers. The procedure should be as follows: When visitor click on alphabate from right frame, top frame should have to display series of page # (1 to 31) and content of first page should be display within mainFrame. as visitor click on page no 2, mainFrame will have to display content of PAGE#2 and so on. as visitor click on next alphabate TOP FRAME should have to change series of page numbers now it should have to display (page no 32 to 80) I am confused how to manage this. Thanks in advance for your prompt response. With regards Raji Sorry, extreme html novice alert! I created a very simple frameset based website on dreamweaver, please look at it he www.desmondandthetutus.co.za The links all load the relevent sites in the mainframe, except the myspace link - the myspace link just clicks through to the site. Anyone got any idea why this happens? Or how I could try fix it? i'm wondering if someone can tell me why this coding is returning a blank page in firefox and opera 9.5: <html> <title> </title> <head> </head> <body> <frameset cols="25%,75%"> <frame src="file.html"> <frame src="file2.html"> </frameset> </body> </html> both files exist and are in the same location as this file, but the frame tag seems to negate all other html on the page, when i enter it nothing shows up but a white page even if there is other valid code on the page!! hi i have a frameset and where the two frames come togeather there is an ugly white border. can anybody please give me a css code to either set the border width to 0px or to color it to my background color? thanks in advance - example: http://wastedtime.co.nr So I'm using this frameset on this one page, and I got 2 frames on it, lets call them "menu" and "main", which link to menu.html and main.html respectively. I'm trying to simply make a href in the "main" page that goes to another page which doesn't have the frameset. so if i type <a href="page2.html" target="new">Link</a>, pretty much just using "new" as an arbitrary word here, it does what i want it to do in Firefox (exits the frameset and goes to page2.html). but in other browsers it opens a new tab for page2.html instead of opening in the same tab. I think it has something to do with the target, but i'm not entirely sure what to set it to. So, how do i get it to not open a new tab when i want to exit the frameset? hi there, I have a question regarding a Frameset and link between the frames - I wonder if it is something that can be solved with some CSS or is the design flawed because of the nature of a Frameset...... I'm a Designer but a relative novice to coding/XHTML/CSS I designed this page as I have no knowledge of Javascript/Ajax but have encountered a flaw and wondered if anyone could offer some help (very much appreciated)..... Ok here's the link: http://kierankelly.net/dansitebuild/...rameset00.html the problem arises when for example you click on "Graphics" and then view "02" in the menu, this will activate a page in the "main frame" then if I change the category to "identity" it changes the top frame but the "main frame" which I want to change back a blank page remains the same "02" page - this basically mean the structure of the site is knackered? or is the trick to assign a Div tag to link to launch x2 <a hrefs> at the same time? and thus refresh both frames? I know this is not a strict CSS question - but I've had some good help on here beforre so I thought I'd give it a shot, thanks for your time kie so i have these 3 files, frame.html, menu.html, and page.html frame.html sets up the frameset with menu.html on the left side and page.html on the right side. the page is very large and scrolls and has a bunch of named anchors in it, and the menu doesn't scroll so its always visible no matter where on the page you are. so u probably get the idea by now. normally if i want to have an anchor link in the page i would just say href="#anchorname", but instead i want to have links in the menu frame jump to anchors in the page frame, so that someone could browse the page very easily without having to scroll all the way back to the top for all the anchor links. is that possible, and how would i do it? The following page uses a frameset... http://www.superpagerank.info/manual...submission.php The links on the top left frame opens up in the middle main frame. Works as it should in FF. However, in IE once you click one link it won't let you click another. No clue why this is. I've used framesets before and I have never had this problem. A webpage I am working on http://www.pfrieme-stumpe.de/ I want to change the framesets border either to a set value or a smaller value.. I have no idea where to change this in the code... any ideas? Thx Matt Okay, so im working on a new website for my clan, and I had the crazy idea of doing it in a frameset fashion, however I've never done anything like this before. Any help, would be greatly appreciated. If this is unsuccessful or impossible that is okay. frame 1 is the navbar frame 2 is page's context frame 3 is ads for clan frame 4 is copyright Thanks! Hai, I have now a iframe on my page, that is connected to a frameset and that frameset i connected to my content. The reason that i have a frame in my iframe is because i coundt get around it because i would mess up my template. So i dont want to change this. The problem i am having know is that i want to resize my iframe according to its content. I have found a lott of scripts that do this but i dont think that this is possible because of the frameset that are located in my iframe. My iframe: Code: <iframe name="iframe" id="iframe" src="frame.html" frameborder="1" height="780" width="765">Your browser does not support inline frames or is currently configured not to display inline frames.</iframe> My frameset: Code: <html> <head> <frameset border="1" cols="40%,60%"scrolling="no"> <frame name="menu" src="menu.html" scrolling="no"> <frame name="content" src="" scrolling="no"> </frameset> </head> </html> Code: <frame name="content" src="" scrolling="no"> Is left empty because on this right side if have a menu and on the left side comes the content when you click on the menu. Everything works fine and i have no errors. I only want to know how i can make the iframe resize according to its content with the problem i have now. Thanks in advancee I want to remove the space between the top frame and the main frame, but the div on the main frame doesn't start on the top of the frame... http://black1c3.awardspace.com how can i do it?? i should create a page that has a banner, footer, and navigation in the page. the problem with my code is that it doesnt show the footer..i tried alot but couldnt fix the problem.. could i have some help plz? here is my code Code: <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>HOME</TITLE> </HEAD> <FRAMESET ROWS = "100,500,100"> <FRAME NAME="BANNER" SCROLLING ="no" SRC ="banner.html"> <FRAMESET COLS ="150,500"> <FRAME NAME="NAV" SCROLLING ="no" SRC ="nav.html"> <FRAME NAME="home" SCROLLING ="yes" SRC ="home.html"> <FRAME NAME="FOOTER" SCROLLING ="no" SRC ="footer.html"> </FRAMESET> </HTML> We have a website that was built using a frameset with the header at the top, the navigation on the left and content on the right. It was optimized for 1024x768 viewing. My question is that it displays on the left side of the wider monitors like mine and I was wondering if it is possible to center the entire frameset so that it would be balanced on each side regardless of the viewing monitor. I can get the top frame to center but have had no luck with the left and right frames. How do I make my frameset a fixed size... you can change the leftnav and topnav size within the browser.. is there a day to set a default size.. take a look http://www.pfrieme-stumpe.de/ thx in advance Matt |
