HTML - Best Way To Replace Frames
I created a web site at www.suncityrnc.com using frames and it doesn't seem to be getting any respect from search engines like google.
If I look at the google cache for my website it just shows my message for browsers that don't handle frames. That is, "This page uses frames, but your browser doesn't support them.". So I get it, crawlers don't like frames! Now I just want to know the best way to rewrite my web site without using frames. I don't want to use PHP or any fancy scripting languages that are going to depend on a server if possible (it's not my server). I would also like to maintain as much of the structure of the html files, and the look and feel of the web site as possible. I would appreciate any help, ideas, or direction anyone has on this topic. I don't want to start hacking until I can get some good advice. I already made that mistake once, when I decided to use frames. Thanks! Similar TutorialsI'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? I've been working on a website for a week or two, and had it all layed out in tables. A coworker passes by and says his friend, a professional web designer, says tables are old-school and I should use div tags instead. I've read a lot of discussion online about how horrible it is to use tables for layout because they are not "supposed" to be for layout (even though they WORK for layout). I have also read a lot about how div layouts like to break, something tables don't do (as much?). I use dreamweaver, and all its pre-made templates use tables, not divs. Divs also look like a lot of work, since there seems to be a ton of css that has to go into making the divs act like table cells (and I am VERY new to css!). The one thing that keeps going through my mind is, why go through so much trouble getting divs to act like tables when I can just write a table? Kind of like trying to genetically engineer oranges to look and taste like apples.... So, should I banish my tabled layout for a layout done with divs, even though my tabled layout looks fine and works fine? I really don't want to quite table layouts, but I also want to learn to do things the "right" way, and if divs are the only "right" way to build a page layout.... Help? Also, are there any good online tutorials on how to "properly" build a div-based layout, one that won't break in different browsers? ~Seij I hope this makes sense (and I'm posting in the right forum section). Here's what I'm trying to do. I'm trying to type a form where the user will type in a 4 7 digit number: <input type="text" name="id" value=""> <input type="submit" value="Submit"> Cool so far. But what I need is after they submit it, the value that is put in there is submitted to a customized link (not http). Example: If a user inputs 1234, it will be changed to link://1234@example.com So the question is, how do get it so that the value submitted from the form is inserted inbetween my link:// and @example.com? Once again, hopefully that makes sense. I'm not even sure what I should be searching for on the forums. Maybe replace string or something? I don't know and I apologize. Any help would be greatly appreciated... What I have is a text box for a user to change the back ground & text for a generated page ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ <font color="#003300"> <b>Color for background</b><BR> </font><font face="Arial,Helvetica" color="#003300"><input type="text" size="6" maxlength="6" name="color1" value="ffffff"></font><font color="#003300"><BR> <b>Color for text </b><BR> <input type="text" size="6" maxlength="6" name="color2" value="000000"></font><font color="#003300"><br> <b>Color inside</b><BR> <input type="text" size="6" maxlength="6" name="color3" value="ffffff"><br> <b>Color outside</b><BR> <input type="text" size="6" maxlength="6" name="color4" value="000000"></br> </font> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I would like to change the text box with a drop down box with pre selected colors for the 4 options any help would be greatly appreciated above is the text Im using Hi guys! I want to change the scrollbar to something else in my IFRAME on my html webpage. I need it to work in FF and IE and I don't only want to change the colors etc, I want to change the complete look! I tried a few scripts but they change everything for me and I only want the old scroll to be replace with a new one. Does anyone have any suggestions? I tried this one but then it makes a lot of mess with other things in my Iframe. Maybe it's because I'm too bad on html but does anyone have any suggestions? http://www.java2s.com/Code/JavaScrip...omscollbar.htm I just need something simple and something that you doesn't need to be a engineer to get working =) Thanks in advance! 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, i need help with frames, what i want is first a search box where a user puts in a search term then this is made into a string and added to 8 urls all of which are displayed in frames, could you help me write this thanks 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. Hi there I recieved a template from a friend for my website.

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 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 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 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 I need help to create the frameset with the structure in the attached file. Can anyone help me please? 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 =] Lock n delete. My net is stuffing up n it double posted. Please read my other post... 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 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 can someone help me do something like a frame but where you could add backrounds something like this ___________________________________________________ | Insert | | Text | | and | | back | | round | | here | | | | | |
