HTML - Frames Scrolling Issue

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?

my page (http://www.zerofivezero.net/the_project102.html) is scrolling as if there's content down the page, but there isn't...I can't figure it out.

I'm using the code below to hide the content and have it swapped when selecting an item from the nav.

Code:

.hidden {
	position:absolute; 
	z-index:2; 
	visibility:hidden;

Code:

<div id="section3_region" class="hidden"><div class="news"><fieldset>
        <legend><img src="images/forum_leg.jpg" width="120" height="28" border="0" alt=""/></legend>
        <br /><br />
        <div class="img"><img src="images/news_thumb1.jpg" width="80" height="75" border="1" alt=""/></div>
        This is the news section<br />
		Yep, this is where the news will be.  This will be the short blurb about the story.
	    <div class="img"><img src="images/news_thumb2.jpg" width="80" height="75" border="1" alt=""/></div>
		This is the news section<br />
		Yep, this is where the news will be.  This will be the short blurb about the story.
	    <div class="img"><img src="images/news_thumb3.jpg" width="80" height="75" border="1" alt=""/></div>
		This is the news section<br />
		Yep, this is where the news will be.  This will be the short blurb about the story.
        </fieldset></div>

Im really not sure if the title of this thread is right.

Anyway, i dont know too much about HTML coding, but id like help with something on my .... MySpace haha

Alright, so this is my myspace at the moment.
www.myspace.com/cj_x3

As you can see, i have links on the sides, done by the following code example;
Quote:
<div style="width: 78px; height: 22px; position: absolute; bottom:5px;right:15px; background-color: transparent; border-width:0px;border-style:solid;border-color: transparent; font-family: verdana;">
<a href="LINK" style="color: dd4444; font-size: 9px; position: absolute; right: 0px; top: 0px">EXAMPLE LINK TEXT</a>
</div>
When you scroll down, the links on the sides scroll off the top. I dont like this...

What i want to happen, is for them to be fixed, like the background, so when you scroll down, the links around the sides dont move.

Thanks for the help in advance

Hey all. I have been working on this website that my friend had been designing, and was just wondering if this was possible.

The way it is now, the topmost div's are supposed to stay in their position at all times, and the only part that would scroll would be the main body.

The two body divs (left and right) have been placed inside the div that should be scrolling.

I know there is the css overflow, but the problem is, there is no fixed height on the div, so this method isn't quite right.

If anyone knows of a way where we could just start the scrolling at a certain point down the page, that would be great.

Here is a link to the page so far - don't worry, it won't look close to that when finished... Image/text placeholders are horrid, I know.

-Thanks in advance.

So, I would like to make a one-line textfield that will automatically scroll when too much text is added.

So, for example, if I have a field that has room for 20 characters, and someone enters 10 characters, it looks as expected.

However, if someone enters 30 characters, only characters 10-30 would be visible.

Is this possible?

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.

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.

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 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

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

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?

hi,

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
