Frames Help

Hey, first post

I checked out the resources, and there was nothing about using frames. I was wondering if there were any good full out tutorials for them. I've only ever made div layer sites.

The type of frame site I'm trying to achieve is something like
http://www.necrophagist.de/Seiten/ne...gist_main.html

where there is an outline type layout image, with a center box where each simple html page loads.

Re: Frames Help

I hate to encourage you to use iframes because they are just not a good design plan. Your best bet is to design the site using html/css. If the entire designs remains the same and someone clicks on the next page and ONLY the parts you want to change ... change.. it will appear to be an iframe without having any negative SEO side effects.

But if you have your heart set on it, I searched google There seem to be many tutorials to choose from.

Re: Frames Help

^ Thanks alot, I didn't know they were called "iframes." when i searched for a frames tutorial, they only came up as regular frames, like columns. Is there any way to make Div layer layouts appear identical to frames without copying the code out several times?

this is the first website i every wrote: www.freewebs.com/thebentens

also i was wondering if i needed to copy out the entire css code in every html document, or am i completly missing the point of css?

Are you supposed to host css as a separate document? If so then what code do you use to connect it to all the html documents and where does it go?

Re: Frames Help

<iframe id="datamain" src="yourpage.htm" width=400 height=250 marginwidth=0 marginheight=0 hspace=0 vspace=0 frameborder=1 scrolling=no></iframe>


You can also resize the width and height and margins and all that stuff just change the numbers

Re: Frames Help

To make new pages from one page that is done, I just "save as". Change out the info that you need to change. It may sound like more work but the beneftis are huge.

Css should be saved in an external style sheet. Code for that is
Code: Select all
<link href="yourfile.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
This code goes between the <head> tags
