Frames

How do I make and use Frames?

[HTMLwalker]

Hey.
Does anybody here know how to make Frames. Also, how do I set them so I can add text, and images?
Also, how do I target the left frame so that it ends up in the center frame?
Thank you.

There are many good websites and tutorials on frames, just search on google.

All a frame does is combine two or more pages, so to set text and images you would just put those on the pages that you combined with frames.

You will find this in a tutorial if you search, but to target you just give the main frame a name (<frame name="main") and then in the links on the other frame do <a href="whatever.html" target="main">Text</a>

The reason why people who are new to html and web design want to use frames is because they don't have to put the code for the menu on every page - if they make a frame then to change the menu they only have to change one file. Frames really should not be used anymore (unless it is completely necessary for what you are trying to achieve), especially since search engines don't really like them as don't many users.
-If you are worried about the menu, you can always just create a regular non-frame layout and then use server side includes (I like php to do this.) I suggest you look into this more.

But good luck with whatever you're trying to achieve.

Hello HTMLWalker,
Welcome to WebmasterWorld!

You should also visit the W3C's page on Frames [w3.org].

Hey.
Thanks for the replys. I changed my mind though. Now, how do you target drop-down menu links?
Thanks

>> Now, how do you target drop-down menu links?

Not sure what you mean.

[HTMLwalker]

What I mean is. Well, say if you were in Microsoft FrontPage: Web Designer. How would make a file in the drop-down menu. So as to link something, like one of you web files as a linkage into your drop-down menu? That's what I mean.

I'm still not quite sure what you mean but if you mean like a drop-down menu wheee your links would be displayed? if so I now Javascript can do this...if thats not what you mean then you may have to explain it a bit more...

That is exactly what I meant!
Thanks for answering back!

Take a spin over to Hotscripts.com and you should find plenty of Javascript menus there.

Now I get it.
---------------------
1.) Make the original page.
2.) Save it.
3.) Set the page into the frame.
4.) And target any of the links to the center frame, left frame, or right frame with 'target=(center/main, left, or right.)

Thanks for all your help.

Godbless,
HTMLwalker.
