HTML frame development!

Hello, From last some days i am looking for a thing to learn in HTML that will give a new look to my site!!! the thing is Set of frames!

I mean I will have 2 frames on my Index.html!
Frame A will be a small bar on the left which will contain other links of my other web sites and services!
Frame B will show index file!

NOW the problem is i want when some on click on any link in Frame A, the link must be loaded/navigated in Frame B and Frame A should not go any where should stay on where it is!

let me give an example! you can go to ; http://www.hmonitor.net and have a look on their Frame! if you click on any thing in frame a suppose you click on Download the Frame B will get download page on it and Frame A will stay as it is!!!

So please help me for this!!!! i hope many web masters will help me!
I will be very thankful to all the helpers! waiting for answer!!

FAISAL!

Stop!
Frames are not good! Use PHP includes.
I will try and find the article, it explains everything.

Agree with Alex on this, Frames died about 7 years ago. First thing is to not go that route. Like Alex has suggested you can use includes to make it where you only have to edit 1 page for each item instead of multiple pages for the same items. Also, you can use CSS to make the static links on the left side if you would like, so that isn't an issue either.

First you need to know if your host provides support for ASP or PHP.

If it supports ASP:

Code: Select all

<!--#include file="FileName.ext"-->

There is no extra coding needed for it, it just goes right into the page like this.

If it supports PHP:

PHP: Select all

<?PHP
include("FileName.ext");
?>

You have to tell the browser that you are using PHP code to use this include. The above will put that there for you.

Hope that helps

But if you decide you want to go and use frames (I dont see why you would)

The bit of code you need goes in your <A HREF target="frameBname" src="page.html">
Change the frameBname to your B Frames name.

But i do suggest using php includes!!

Good luck

Why not to use frames.

Give yourself an afternoon or two to learn basic PHP, and you should be fine with includes.

PHP is much more powerful than frames. I used to use SSI instead of PHP for includes, but once I learned PHP I was able to save myself a LOT of work by programmatically including items ("if this, then include that" or "take this variable and plug it into all three of those gaps").

It seems he really wants to use Frames.

Can you explain your problem better please? I dont understand.
!! - EDIT - !!

I get ya,

Ok, so its:

<A HREF target="frameBname" src="contact.html">Contact Us</a>

Hope that helps.
