HTML - Cleaning Up Frames

Alright so I am using macromedia dreamweaver building a website and I have set up my page so that there is a menu on the left side using a frame. Now when I make links using the text in the frame, it opens the new page in that frame which is not what I want. Ideally I would like it to open in another frame and keep the menu bar frame on the left side. So i guess that makes my question two part.

How do I link a page from a frame into either a whole new page or in another frame keeping the original menu frame there?

if this doesnt make sense i can try to re-word it or try and show you my problem.

thanks

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

Hey can someone help me do something like a frame but where you could add backrounds something like this
___________________________________________________
| Insert |
| Text |

| back |
| round |
| here |

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.

How to make such frames i can`t make it

Hi,
First time posting...

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.

Hey, so forgive me for being a bit of a newbie.

Anyway, I started writing this website using frames without realizing they were deprecated. On the left side of my page I have a frame which has a menu of buttons where I've got javascript/jquery allowing the buttons to be hidden and shown in a collapse/expand sort of way. Clicking on the buttons also enables the page on the right frame to change.

I like that this allows me to load a new page on the right but not reload the page on the left.

Is there a way for me to not use frames but keep this left/right independence?

I was wondering how to do frames to set up well anyways if you can help me that would be great

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 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.

Hi
I need a page that has six eqaually sized frames displaying different sites with a scroll bar on each and no border. How would i do this
Thanks

hi i was wondering with my site using frames if one of the pages is loaded in to a internet exploer is there any way i can make it redirect to the index page so it is back in the frame and the user has navagtion
thanks

so I am making a new webpage at http://www.geocities.com/manic.panicd
I am wondering what the link code is for frames.

When i click on "you" or "site", etc...I want it to open up in the main frame part of my layout. For an example of how im running into trouble. Check my webbie and click on the mini piece of lined paper in the "The Girl" section.

How do i link properly?

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
