I can't figure out how to make it work...everything I see says to put it just like I have it but it doesn't work. Anyone know what's wrong with this?

<html>

<frameset cols="25%,75%">

<frame src="kaleesphotography.com/framestest.htm">

<frame src="kaleesphotography.com/test.htm">

</frameset>

</html>

This is all I get: http://kaleesphotography.com/framestest2.html

I don't get it but this is my first real html project so I'm sure it's just inexperience. I'm trying to get this setup for my fiance...

Frames are bad. Use CSS to get the look you want. Start here: http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/Guide/

yeah more I think about itI don't think it'll work. i'm just trying to set it up so that her website (kaleesphotography.com) has links off to the left side of the centered pic...just haven't figured out how to do that yet...

The problem MIGHT be in the "links" you've told the frames to find...

if that HMTL page is located within the same directory as the "target" pages, try removing the "kaleesphotography.com/".

oko i tried that and all i have now is;

just garbled stuff...

Code Select

<html>
<frameset cols = "25%, 25%,*">
  <frame src ="venus.htm" />
  <frame src ="sun.htm" />
  <frame src ="mercur.htm" /> 
</frameset>
</html>

Looks like you forgot the " /" behind each frame page.

I actually had...so i added it...but I didn't get a different result...

<html>

<frameset cols="25%,75%">

<frame src="framestest.html" />

<frame src="test.html" />

</frameset>

</html>

anything specifically wrong there?

<html>

<frameset cols="25%,75%">

<frame name="frametest" src="framestest.htm">

<frame name="test" src="test.htm">

</frameset>

</html>

You're not trying to do HTML in MS WORD... are you?

You've got to do it in NOTEPAD in order for it to work... Somehow there's some MS coding in there...

makenzie71 · June 30, 2007, 10:33:28 PM

saved as html though

I'll do it through notepad...but i was doing it through notepad alast night with no change...

CndnMax · June 30, 2007, 10:35:46 PM

the code i gave you should work just fine in notepad.

makenzie71 · June 30, 2007, 10:36:10 PM

butI obviously didn't try it max's way last night in notepad...it works now.

Now i just have to doctor it and get rid of the scroll bar stuff and what not....

spc · June 30, 2007, 10:37:57 PM

Yup, it's live

CndnMax · June 30, 2007, 10:40:16 PM

glad it worked

annguyen1981 · June 30, 2007, 10:42:17 PM

Cool

makenzie71 · June 30, 2007, 10:44:32 PM

yup I really appreciate it

ok now the little guide i'm reading says to add noresize="noresize" to the <frames> tag...I've tried two different configurations and can't get either to work properly. any advice?

<html>

<frameset cols="25%,75%" noresize="noresize">

<frame name="frametest" src="framestest.htm">

<frame name="test" src="test.htm">

</frameset>

</html>

**

<html>

<frameset cols="25%,75%">

<frame name="frametest" src="framestest.htm">

<frame name="test" src="test.htm">

<noresize="noresize">

</frameset>

</html>

makenzie71 · June 30, 2007, 10:46:23 PM

I'll add that the idea is to disable the resizing abiliity and to remove the scroll bars except on the far right...of course i'm assuming that the to remove the scroll bar in the middle you have to have that particular menu smaller than the main frame.
