Title: anyone here familiar with settinig up html frames?
Post by: makenzie71 on June 29, 2007, 10:10:21 PM
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/".

<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?

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...
Title: Re: anyone here familiar with settinig up html frames?
Post by: makenzie71 on June 30, 2007, 10:33:28 PM

I'll do it through notepad...but i was doing it through notepad alast night with no change...
Title: Re: anyone here familiar with settinig up html frames?

the code i gave you should work just fine in notepad.
Title: Re: anyone here familiar with settinig up html frames?
Post by: makenzie71 on June 30, 2007, 10:36:10 PM

Cool
Title: Re: anyone here familiar with settinig up html frames?
Post by: makenzie71 on 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>

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.

figured it out! haha I'm a badass with proper guiudance...
Title: Re: anyone here familiar with settinig up html frames?
Post by: CndnMax on June 30, 2007, 11:11:05 PM
was it in the <frame> instead of the <frameset> tag?
Title: Re: anyone here familiar with settinig up html frames?
Post by: makenzie71 on June 30, 2007, 11:20:01 PM
hadto set it up like this:

Quote
<html>

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

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

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

</frameset>

</html>

...which made perfect sense after i thought about it for a second.

I'm trying to figure out her menu thing now though...which it's consistantly putting up only two options aand leving the first option and title off.  if you copy the link location from the first link (viewed on the apge) it has the html from the missing link in it.  I don't see what's wrong with it...I've tried making all three options indentical and it'snot cooperative...

--the title tags are for the title bar in the browser, if u want to have a title on the page use heading tags- you probably already know this but just making sure.

I'm real rusty on my HTML, but isn't the <P> tag only  a singular tag?  You don't need to close it.  It's used to go to the next line...  just like a carriage(sp) return.

you probably don't need to close it, but its better to do it. a <p> tag is basically to start a new paragraph- it will double space if i remember well. <br> tag is like hitting enter-its single spaced.

no problem :thumb:. targets are really easy to do, all you do is give the target a name and link to it.
