HTML - Frames Not Working...
Why does the following not work on firefox or IE, yet it works on safari...
Could someone please help me, I cant even get any frames to display :S <html> <head> <title>History of the Internet, WWW and W3C.</title> <META name="description" content="The history of the , internet and W3C."> <META name="keywords" content="WWW, internet, W3C, WWW history, internet history, W3C history"> </head> <body> <frameset border="4" bordercolor="#000000" rows="50%,50%"> <frameset cols="20%,60%,20%"> <framesrc="backdrop.html" name="l_backdrop" noresize scrolling="no"> <frameset rows="25%,10%,65%"> <frame src="header.html" name="header" noresize scrolling="no"> <frame src="menu.html" name="menu" noresize scrolling="no"> <frame src="main.html" name="mainwindow" noresize scrolling="yes"> </frameset> <framesrc="backdrop.html" name="r_backdrop" noresize scrolling="no"> </frameset> </frameset> </body> </html> Similar TutorialsHi, Not used frames before - done a bit of html but never had need previously to touch them. Just don't understand why this isn't working - 1x frameset (2 columns), 2x html for left and right, and a third html linked from the left frame that i'd like to load in the right. It doesn't - it loads in a new window. Any ideas? Many thanks hello. i've been working on a website and everything works/looks fine except when viewing the site with firefox on a mac... one of the pages has two frames that should work at the same time when a link is clicked on the page. however neither appear. i have another page which has only one frame and it is working fine. so i'm thinking there must be something in my code which is making it impossible for the two frames to work smoothly in firefox. i hope this makes sense... here is the problem page (with two frames, one to the left of the links and one above the links): and this page works fine (with one frame to the left of the links): if anyone can shed some light i'd really appreciate it, thankyou. pls click on my website (only 80% finished) he http://www.welcometotherash.com the main body is a frame-based environment (except the index page u see first) but i want to force frames so it works properly. if you click on the 'road rash cd' link it brings up the frame page (force frames) but the wrong page is in there - if you use the sidebar and hit 'road rash cd' - thats the page that should be force framed what am i doing wrong? any advice would be gratefully appreciated, thx But it is working in Firefox, any clue why?

I am a graphic designer which is almost a complete idiot about web design, i have some problem making a web site. While i try to open my web site in FIREFOX and IE it does not work. (while safari works well) the existing link is www.sindysindy.com when i click the targeted link on the top buttons (about&contact) it open up a new pop up page. I names the top frame as TOP, the bottom two named "menu" on the left and "mainframe" on the right. While clicking buttons on the "TOP" frame would show other buttons in menu targeting things to show up in "mainframe" i have already done a web site days ago and i am trying to redo it now : ( would be really really grateful if you can help Thank you very much indeed!

I am not a programmer, nor anykind of web professional, and I'm building this as an amateur. I have very basic knowledge of HTML and a bit of CSS, and that's pretty much it. Once the thing is ready to be released, it will have to be updated on a regular basis, and by people whose background and function have nothing to do with scripting (in fact, I cannot take care of it myself all the time since I'm leaving for Europe soon). Therefore, I resigned to using MS Word 2007 as the html editor, since it's the only software anyone can usen here to update the files without having to learn how to code (I haven't found any freeware that didn't require prior html knowledge and the company will not pay for a software liscence of any kind). I know MS word is basically the worst thing one can use to build a website, but I couldn't find any better for this scenario. Now I'm encountering a bit of a problem with the website, specifically with frames. The website (which is a frameset) is divided in two sections: a menu on the left (frame_menu), which is static should remain there all the time, and a frame to the right (frame_main) displaying the pages contents. Now, when a user clicks on a link in frame_menu, the content (page A) displays in frame_main, which is what I want. Then if someone clicks on a link in the page A in frame_main that links to another page (page B), it will open gain in frame_main, replacing the page A that was there. So far, this is the behavior I want, and the frame properties were set for this. The problem comes when the back button is used. If you are on page B, and then click the back button, you will come back to page A, in frame_main (so far still good), but any subsequent link the user will click after using the back button, whether it's a link in frame_menu or frame_main, will open in a new window, even though the default for opening links of the frame is set to frame_main as the target! This renders the frameset completely useless, and the whole frameset has to be closed and reloaded to function properly again. I know frames are deprecated. The only alternative I have found was to use CSS to simulate frames. However, from what I have read (and tell me if I am mistaken), it only simulates the fact that you have a "fixed" menu on every page, but the menu is NOT a separate html file, and has to be part of every page on the website. This makes the updating of the menu very tedious, as it has to be changed on every page of the website, were an item to be added to it. This is why I used frames to begin with: no need to update every page to add something to your menu, just update the menu.html file and voila. So I would like to know if you have any workaround for this problem. Any suggestion is appreciated. This was all tested with IE8. It's the only browser provided to the employees, I cannot use another one. This is part of the code (generated by MS Word of course) that contains the frametset <frameset framespacing=0 frameborder=0 border=0 cols="215,1*"> <frame name="frame_menu" src="file:///\\sv050\GROUPS\AGT\AGT-CDS\AGT-CDS-CR\helper\html\menu.htm" scrolling=no> <frame name="frame_main" src="file:///\\sv050\GROUPS\AGT\AGT-CDS\AGT-CDS-CR\helper\html\home.htm"> <noframes> <body lang=EN-US style='tab-interval:36.0pt'> <div class=WordSection1> <p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:10.0pt;line-height:115%'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;line-height:115%'>This page uses frames, but your browser doesn't support them.<o:p></o:p></span></p> </div> </body> </noframes> </frameset> If the entire script of the frameset.html is needed, tell me and I'll post it. Thanks in advance, Guill 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, I'm a html noob building a website for html. I have frames set up so that it is 3 columns. In the middle column there are three rows (Header, menu and content respectively). The problem I'm having is, although I've made the frames so that they can't be dragged to alter their size, when the user resizes the window the frames get resized and all the content (including banner, menu buttons etc.) get cut off or pushed into "no mans land". Id like one of the following to be possible: - How do i make the window so it opens at a specific size, and cant be resized. - Or if the window has to be resizable, can i set a minimum point the frames can be resized to. - Or how do i make the content so that it doenst go to the s***house. - Or how do i make the frames so they aren't resized when the window is... Bellow is a picture and my coding so you can see what's wrong: (in the picture you can see the banner being cut off, the buttons havent been cut off yet as the window is still big). <body properties="fixed"> <frameset border="3" bordercolor="#000000" rows="100%"> <frameset cols="20%,60%,20%"> <frame src="backdrop.html" name="lbackdrop" noresize scrolling="no"> <frameset rows="25%,10%,65%"> <frame src="header.html" name="header" noresize scrolling="no"> <frame src="menu2.html" name="menu" noresize scrolling="no" <frame src="main.html" name="mainwindow" noresize scrolling="no" </frameset> <frame src="backdrop.html" name="rbackdrop" noresize scrolling="no"> </frameset> </frameset> </body> Thanks in advance Lock n delete. My net is stuffing up n it double posted. Please read my other post... 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 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. 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? Alright here is my problem. I have a website that is runned using frames and I have another site that wants to link to a specific page on my site. Is there a way an outside website can link to the frame on my site Hey, http://www.artistrichardcook.co.uk/src/ - here is the start to a website I am making for my art college which exists of two frames. A left (with the links) and the main frame (with the content). Simple. However, due to it being a frame and the obviously long list of links, when my browser is smaller than usual you can't see the bottom of the links. I know I could add a scrollbar to the frame but it looks pretty awful. My screen is a 17" laptop and the number of people at college viewing this will have smaller laptop screens and this is my problem. Basically, was there anyway to make both the left frame scroll as you scrolled the main frame as in linked? So the scrollbar would exist for both the frames rather than just one or the other? Sorry if this doesn't make sense but I'm not sure how else to put it. I would appreciate any help Thanks, Rich Hi guys, I have a couple of sites done over the last while and, whilst they work well enough, I want something like frames. I have resisted using them because everything on the net about it seems to be bad. The problem is that I have a 'template' which is the same for almost every page on the site (logo, search bar, top navigation bar, side navigation & footer). If I want to change anything in this 'template', I have to go and change it on every single page. This is OK on a couple of pages but I have nearly 20 now and it seems ridiculous! So how should I be doing it? What I really want is to have the 'template' in just one place so that I change the one file and it then applies to all my pages. I am self taught and really only know html/css with a very limited knowledge of javascript. Thank you 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 Hello, I was just learned about frames and I just get a little bit curious why not so many websites use frames, is it, like, not great? Can you tell me pros and cons about it? Thank you. hi there i just need help with frames thing. i am abit new with this html stuff here i have three frames one at top as tittle one, at the side for menu and one the main... now wat i dont know is at the menu frame i have created a table where i have inserted pics instead of words now i want like when i click on one pic a certain file should be opened in the main frame which i have named as body.htm and not ina new window hope u are understanding wat i am trying to put here is the code of the menu page <html> <head> <title>my web</title> </head> <body background="wallpaper.jpg"> <img src="menu.gif" align="middle">*** here also i putted the align thing but still the pic comes in the side ** <table> <tr> <td><a href="body.htm"target="body.htm"> ** this is the code i used but whenever i click on the doll image the page opens in new window which i dont want..** <img border="0" src="dolls.gif"/></a></td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> hope u understand what i m trying to say. i have a menu frame in which i ahve put pics now what i want is when i click on the pic at the menu frame i want the link to open in the same window at mainframe thanks will wait for the repliess |
