What Are Frames?
Ok. I have had SO much confusion over this subject! So obviously my tutorial was not easy to understand so I am starting over completley! :) You all know what frames look like right? Otherwise you wouldnt want to do it! You have links in one place and the pages magicaly open in another. It's really easy once you get the concept so pay close attention and I'l do my very best to explain.
BASIC FRAMES:
LEFT & RIGHT Frames:
ALL WEBSITES start with an index.html page. If you have EVER made a page you start with index.html that is the defult page - SO you want your index.html to become two pages in one. Imposible?? NO! You have to create the FRAME SET. STEP 1. create a new html file and name it index.html and save it. Erase all html if need be, and paste the following code onto it:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Your Site Name HERE</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<FRAMESET cols="18%,82%" border=0><FRAME FRAMESPACING=0 SCROLLING=YES SRC="links.htm" NAME="frameone"><FRAME SRC="main.htm" NAME="frametwo"></FRAMESET></BODY>
</HTML>
That is the only text that you should see in your index.html
STEP 2
If you look at the text above you see it's telling index.html it is two pages links.htm is FRAMEONE and main.htm is FRAMETWO.
you can either create those two pages yourself or Download the three files. There are links included to show you how to write them.
*you need winzip to open the download!*
Go to The sample
Go to The sample
links.htm = your links such as Shows, Adoptions, Litterz.. ect..
You want them to open on the right side.. you named it "frametwo"
Your links should look like this:
<A HREF="shows.htm" target="frametwo">shows</A>
You MUST put in the TARGET! if it's an email link you don't need one.. or if you want it to open in a new window make it TARGET="_BLANK" But everything you want to open on the right put TARGET="frametwo" it is CAP sensitive also so make sure you type everything in just right.
Link with a picture (button)
<A HREF="htm file" TARGET="frametwo"><IMG SRC="picture name" border="0"></A>

Question Asked:
On your example for the frames, ya know? The one of
the screen shot? Anyways... On the left frame, you have an area where
you put the links where it's almost trasparent, but you can still sorta
see the background. Is there any other way to do that with out making a
background with that in it?
I think I understand your questions.. you want it to look like that (the white area) without having a transparent looking image in the background? That whole middle thing is an image that I made into an image map. However you could make something that looked like that if you were experienced with making tables. So that is the only other way to do it.
Can you do frames withOUT html?
Well.. not really. there are probally programs out there that write the html for you.
How do you
make your frame transparent so you can see the backgound and not have
it overlapping with white?
I'm not sure what you meant by this question! Please email me if you'd like.. I'm guessing you want to know how to make the backgrounds blend.. I may be wrong.. but if I use my site as an example I have the plaid green on the left and it kinda blends off into white.. I make my own backgrounds.. so the right frames is a stripe of green that has a drop shadow on it..
How do you link pictures to the left frame to open up
the page on the right?
A: I didnt mean to not answer this :) But someone nice emailed me the answer so I will post it! Thanks :)
The code you need to use is:
<xmp><a href="linkname.html" target="framename"><img src="picturename.jpg" border=0></a>
The "framename" is what you've called the frame you want to open the
page in. You can find it in your frameset. :D
Thanks Kazzie!
Is it possible to have scrolling frames?
Yes, in the text above make sure it says "SCROlLING=YES" if you don't want scroll bars than make it SCROLLING=NO
Even though i put target="frametwo" in my links code it still opens up as a separate page. Also When I type in my website address it just takes me to the links part of the frame and my home page isn't there! I wanted to change my frames from bottom and top to just left. I worked so hard I am about to cry! Help!
Ok - You have to make sure that your frames name is "frametwo" in the FRAMESET is where you name it.. It sounds like your having a problem with with NAME and TARGET. Email me if this doesnt help any!!
I am not sure if the other question on your page answered this but have you ever been to geocities? If you have you have probabley seen the pagebuilder..can we do frames on that? Thanks for your help Raven!
I am not REAL familiar with it, but it basically had pre-made "templates" for you to use as your webpage.. it doesnt offer much else other than personalizing what is already set up for you. However geocities has another edior where you can edit the HTML.. this is where you would add frames, but you have to know what you are doing :)
say you have a basic frame with a left and right side.....how do you make the backround of the right frame not move when you scroll down.
All you have to do is in your [Body] section of your html document add the following line: bgproperties="fixed"
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE> your webite name here </TITLE>
<BODY bgproperties="fixed" background="your-picture.jpg" TEXT="red" Link="blue">
</HEAD>
Type in all your text and add photos here!
</BODY>
</HTML>
