RentEv frames!

[leoj]

My Site is: www.RentEv.com !!

I was wondering if anyone could instruct me how to put a top fram in between my three existing frames: my frames are set up like so:

| | page |-|

I want it to look like this

| |^^^^|-|


---------------------------
Key:
---------------------------
| | = a complete vertical frame
---------------------------
| = left side of vertical frame
---------------------------
| = right sidevertical frame
---------------------------
|-| = a vertical frame with horizontal row (two frames... one on top and one on bottom of "-")
---------------------------
^^^^ = top frame (it doesn't cut off the vertical frames' height.)
---------------------------



What I DONT want:

^^^^^^
| | page |-|


I want the top horizontal frame to be in between the two side vertical frames.




--Thanks! hope I explained this well enough.

You're more likely to get advice on how NOT to use frames.

This may help on your road for design knowledge http://www.w3schools.com/.
It's a long road.

Frames are outdated. There are much better methods to acheiving a frame-like effect without the accessibility problems associated with actual frames. Take a look into CSS. Properties you should pay attention to are "position" and "overflow."

Thanks alot! I will get on it. would you mind linking some specific tutorials that you think do the best job of explianing it? w3schools doesn't seem to go into detail.

it does but you should be looking at the CSS bit.
CSS allows you to virtually map out your whole page (+ a lot more besides).

Yw.
I only just started with CSS myself.
It looks a lot but you can see some of the advantages very quickly, and they just keep coming.

CSS has a rather sharp learning curve, but once you get the hang of it, you'll never turn back.

CSS stands for Cool Sexy Saucyness. And that is no lie! But as stated it can be a bit tricky at times, even as you grasp it more and more, you do more and more complex things. It is awesome but at the same time it can be a headache.
