Hello again!!!

Im nearly complete - ive been designing a new website for a school and want to upload it.

Only problem is im not entirely sure how to link it so it works!!!

Ive used frames for the new site and the homepage is called index.htm. However when i just open this alone it doesnt load the frame navigation - just the homepage content is loaded. When i open the frameset page then the navigation is opened along with all the other frames (Content, Banner etc) but obviously where the homepage information is meant to be is blank!!!

How do i link it so when people go to the school website both the frames and homepage content are shown???

Thanks!!

is your frameset something like this?

<frameset cols="128,*" frameborder="no" framespacing="0" border="0">
<frame src="\html\menu.htm" name="menu">
<frame src="\html\main.htm" name="mainpage">
</frameset>

<noframes>

actually, do you have the frameset code so I can see if there's anything wrong?

actually, another thing - can you do me a screenshot? I need to see what you actually mean is going wrong (you said about the navigation)

**woody22** · 06-11-2004, 07:22 AM

It looks like this when i click on frameset:

http://www.wickersley.net/Web_Design...1/frameset.htm

It looks like this when i click on Index.htm

http://www.wickersley.net/Web_Design...ages/index.htm

but i want it to have both on the same screen at the same time if you see what i mean!

Our current homepage is www.wickersley.net - ive uploaded the new site - basically i just aint sure how to link it so that when people click on wickersley.net it shows the page as i want it to above

Cheers!!

hmm, it looks like that the content IS the main page, there's no frameset info in the HTML code when I view the source.

rename index.htm to main.htm and then change frameset.htm to index.htm. THEN change the nav menu to say <A href="main.htm" target="ContentFrame">Home</a> That seems to be the problem this end anyway.

Framesets are a pain in the rectum aren't they?

**woody22** · 06-11-2004, 07:40 AM

how do i make it so that when people click www.wickersley.net it opens both the framset (index) and the main page then??

Cheers

do as above then change

<frame src="content.htm" name="ContentFrame" frameborder="no" marginwidth="0" id="ContentFrame">

TO

<frame src="main.htm" name="ContentFrame" frameborder="no" marginwidth="0" id="ContentFrame">

shouldn't be too difficult

Please tell me if this works too

**woody22** · 06-11-2004, 08:03 AM

works fine now!!!

Thanks very much for the assistance!!!!

Yep a pain they certainly are!

**Wenslock** · 06-11-2004, 08:07 AM
