HTML - Thinking With Frames
Hello forum.
I have been experimenting with HTML with a friend for some time now and were on our way to creating our masterfull website (just for recreational purposes). However i'm having trouble with getting what I want with frames (I have heard that frames arent good anymore, but I wouldn't know yet how to do it in any other way, suppose i'll find better and more complicated ways to do it with experience). What I want is simple, split the page up into two, left colum is the part where u click on an option, right side is where you see the information. <html> <head> <title>=)</title> </head> <frameset cols="25%,75%"> <frame src="SA Frame.html" name="menu"> <frame src="1 Frame SA Website.html" name="content"> </frameset> </html> Is what I have currently with the SA frame.html being the left menu I made, and 1 Frame SA Website the first page of information. It currently looks like what I want it to look like except for two things. Wich a while I see the left bar menu fit perfectly on my screen, my friend has a bigger screen and on his he sees a way bigger left menu, wich is ugly, I want it to scale per computer so that it's always the same size. And the second question is how I make a second and third ect link in the left menu that will show diffrent information according to each link. Thank you in advance Sensen out Similar TutorialsWhen <b> and <i> aren't? I mean, aren't they are all equal at a semantic level? And considering as for better semantic syntax you should be using <strong> and <em>... Just wondering - anyone else have thoughts? 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? 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? Hey can someone help me do something like a frame but where you could add backrounds something like this ___________________________________________________ | Insert | | Text | | and | | back | | round | | here | | | | | I need help to create the frameset with the structure in the attached file. Can anyone help me please? I have three frames: -Header -Menu -Content On -Menu, I'm using drop down menu. This is were my problem occurs. All the options don't show up. So I was just wondering it is possible to overlay the -Menu frame over the -Content frame? Any other method to try and get around this problem? 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 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! 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 =] 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 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 I've been struggling with this for a while now. I am trying to use framests to make a navbar and the mainpage. The frame for the navbar appears on the page, but the navbar doesn't. And the navbar says page cannot be diplayed. I am still in the early stages of learning html so I may not understand everything the first time around. This is what I have done so far. Code: <html> <head> <title>My Frameset</title> </head> <frameset cols="150,*"> <frame src= "navbar.html"> <frame src= "mainpage.html"> </frameset> </html> I have a page saved as navbar.html saved in the same folder also. Any suggestins. Thanx 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. 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. 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. 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. How to make such frames i can`t make it 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? 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. |
