Navagation within framesets

I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction.

I have a site that is based on a top header, left navagation and main body frameset. For the navagation I am using a java based slide down menu.

This is what I need to do... part of the navagation menu will be pointing to a second frameset and so on. Where I will need a subheader, right sub navagation and a sub main body. There will be a total of 8 sub framesets that I need to open in the main body frame.

Is this the best approach to my delima? I have a variety of file formats that I am linking to (docs, dwfs, pdfs, excel files and so on.)

One other item I can't seem to get the navagation frame on the right. Could someone look at this and let me know what I am doing wrong?

<frameset cols="150,*">
<frame name="right" scrolling="no" noresize>
<frameset rows="20%,*">
<frame name="ltop">
<frame name="lbottom">
</frameset>
</frameset>

This is what I am trying to do on the subset.

I don't really understand your first question.

As for the second, the only thing I can see is that you don't have frames sources defined,i.e. the document which should be opened in that frame.

Let me see if I can put this in a different way.

My site is based on a frameset which is makeup of a top header frame, left navagation frame and a main body frame to the right of the navagation.

Like this:

___________
¦Top Header.¦
¦-----------¦
¦Nav¦.Main..¦
¦Fra¦.Body..¦
¦me.¦.Frame.¦
-----------

Now what I need is the code to make the sub frameset that will open inside the mainbody frame. And I need it to look like this.

-------------
¦Top Hdr¦Right¦
¦-------¦Nav..¦
¦Main...¦Frame¦
¦Body...¦.....¦
¦Frame..¦.....¦
-------------

Can this be done?

Why can't you just call a second frameset with the target pointing to the main frame? You could also use a javascript in the onclick like:

onclick="top.mainframename.location='subframeset.htm';"
