Quick question for a quick answer...
Ive created a website with frames. On the first frame, i have the html with all the links, but everytime i click a link, it loads the page in that frame. Instead i want the frame to remain static, and load in the other frame next to it. How can it be done

Name your frames, then put a target in the link.

add target= then either "_blank", "_self", "_parent" or "_top" to the link code (<a href ="www.corsasport.com" target="_blank" etc etc )depending on which frame you want the link to appear in

If you want it to load in to the frame inside the page you'll need a target that isn't any on that list.

I think you need to rename the frame in the header and make that name the target, is that right? Use dreamweaver

Yes, in the master document:
<frame name="rightside" src="firstpage.htm">
And in the link, which is in the page loaded in to the left side:
<a href="secondpage.htm" target="rightside">

havent read it throughly... but i used javascript to do this sort stuff....
function BodyWindow(link)
{
window.open(link,"name of frame")
}
in body
<a href="javascript:BodyWindow('www.dummy.html')">clicky</a>
reason y i did it this way is cos of less maintence i.e. changing the name of the frame is simpler

Just had a quick go, got it to work how I think you want it to.
Default names for everything, but you should be able to get the jist of it.
Index page:
quote:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Frameset//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/frameset.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>
<frameset cols="80,*" frameborder="NO" border="0" framespacing="0">
<frame src="links.htm" name="leftFrame" scrolling="NO" noresize>
<frame src="link.htm" name="mainFrame">
</frameset>
<noframes><body>
</body></noframes>
</html>
Links page
quote:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>
<body>
<p><a href="link.htm" target="mainFrame">link</a></p>
<p><a href="link.htm" target="mainFrame">link</a></p>
<p><a href="link.htm" target="mainFrame">link</a></p>
<p><a href="link.htm" target="mainFrame">link</a></p>
</body>
</html>
And finally the main page, which you see on the right side first.
quote:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>
<body>
Some text here for the main page.
</body>
</html>
Hope you make sense of that!

Right, you basically have the top bar, a nested frame on the left and a main frame on the right where you want pages to be loaded?
If so, make your frameset, and put in the general code eg..
"<html>
<head>
<title>My Frameset</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>
<frameset rows="80,*" cols="*" frameborder="NO" border="0" framespacing="0">
<frame src="top.htm" name="topFrame" scrolling="NO" noresize >
<frameset cols="80,*" frameborder="NO" border="0" framespacing="0">
<frame src="links.htm" name="leftFrame" scrolling="NO" noresize>
<frame src="home.htm" name="mainFrame">
</frameset>
</frameset>
<noframes><body>
</body></noframes>
</html>"
On your Links page you should have say...
<html>
<head>
<title>No title required here</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>
<body>
<a href="hello.php" target="mainFrame">link.htm
</a>
</body>
</html>
And basically the others can have whatever you need.. eg banner at the top, and general crap in the main bit.

agreed with this, frames are an absolute disaster sometimes. Php is quite friendly if used properly? Doesn't take long to learn either!

The above code is a rewrite of your website, but utilises iframes and tables over frames, slap that into your index page and check the links, its all set out for u to cusomise
