HTML - Understanding Frames!??!
Hello all! I'm in the process of doing a redesign for a client of mine. I've already created all the html pages and everything is working fine. My client currently uses a web based application so their clients can log on and order things. But when I link to their web based app it takes them away from their new site im creating. So now they tell me they dont want their customers to leave their site when they order things. I know this can be done with frames. The only problem is can it be done only with this one ordering page only? Also, the ordering page i've created contains a flash nav and a flash banner. Does anybody out there know how I can do this or if it's even possible?
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 all - forgive me if I have posted this in the wrong place (noob, 2nd post) I'm now learning about XML and doing quite well, or so I thought. For example, lets say I have the following XML file... Code: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<!--<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="stylesheet.xsl"?>-->
<news>
<story>
<headline>Headline</headline>
<main>Main story</main>
<submain>Sub story, new para1</submain>
<submain>Sub story, new para2</submain>
<submain>Sub story, new para3</submain>
</story>
<story>
<headline>Headline</headline>
<main>Main story</main>
<submain>Sub story, new para1</submain>
<submain>Sub story, new para2</submain>
<submain>Sub story, new para3</submain>
</story>
</news>
I can only retrieve 1 'submain' line. The question is "can I have more than 1 'submain' tag within each 'story' tag"? All the tutorials I have read are either too simple and have just 1 or 2 elements or are way too complex for me to grasp at this stage. Any help would be appriciated. JollyNolly Could someone help me with my table structure. I have a horizontal gap or space between my header table row and the rest of the table. Also, I'm not having any luck adjusting the widths of the table colums. I've tried setting them in the stylesheet with not luck. The same with the alignment, no luck getting center alignment for the table within the page. I did get the table center aligned by creating another style for my bicycle_table div tage and then doing text-algin: center. It doesn't work in FireFox though. Could someone give me some pointers with this? HTML Code: <div id="bicycle_table">
<table class="bicycle" border="1">
<!-- <table id="bikeTable" width="700" border="1" align="center" summary="This table contains criteria to use when deciding on the type of bike."> -->
<caption style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS'; font-size:16 pt; font-weight:bold; color:#C00" background:#CCCCCC >Choosing A Bike</caption>

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. Lock n delete. My net is stuffing up n it double posted. Please read my other post... 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 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 How to make such frames i can`t make it 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 | | | | | 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. I was wondering how to do frames to set up well anyways if you can help me that would be great 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 need help to create the frameset with the structure in the attached file. Can anyone help me please? 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 Hello guys, im new here =) So.. I was trying to make a frame with a scrolling bar, like this site >> www.roxdownload.net take a look =) What should i do? Thank you very much =D Hi, First time posting... I have a site that contains frames and I am applying IDs to the tables and providing links above to move further down the page but it also moves the outer frame but I would like the outer frame to remain still and for the link to scroll to the right place in the page in the inner frame. Is this possible? Thanks. Hi there I recieved a template from a friend for my website. I have finished most of the site i now i have a problem. I would like to offer advertising space on eaither side of the page but i cant seem to do it. Please can somebody help me out. Thank you. The website is http://www.sapokershop.co.za you will see what i mean when i say space on the sides. 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. |
