HTML - Simple Frames Help Please?

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?

hye, i just want to ask. using frames is secure or not?and how to fix it as secure. hopefully someone can answer my question, i really curious to know about that. tq~

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

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.

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

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

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

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. 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.
