HTML - Using 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 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? 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 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 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. 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. 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... 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! 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 I need help to create the frameset with the structure in the attached file. Can anyone help me please? 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 can someone help me do something like a frame but where you could add backrounds something like this ___________________________________________________ | Insert | | Text | | and | | back | | round | | here | | | | | How to make such frames i can`t make it 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 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 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 =] 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 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 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? |
