Newbie to the group with minimal webpage creation experience needs HEEEEELLLLLLPPPP!

I have an auto dealer web page customer that wants me to link to one of his manufacturers web site. Problem is he wants the upper portion of the website I handle for him including navbar at the top and the manufacturers page on the balance. We’re talking about a 20-80 split between his upper logo/navbar page and the lower 80% of the manufacturers page. I tried using Frames with minimal success but it just doesn’t work well. Another problem I was having with it was the customer wants to be able to click on a link off his navbar and be taken out of the Frames. I know Frames has a pretty bad rep and it’s not working properly for me anyway. Can anyone give me some directions on the proper way to accomplish what I am trying to do or give me a little tutorial link to point me down the right road? Hopefully I described my problem understandably. If not let me know and I’ll take another shot at it.

Mucho thanks for any info, advice or help you can share.

Frames was the old way of doing this - and you have to explain to your client that what he wants is just a bad idea. If people want to go back to his web site from one of the manufacturer's site, they will use the back button - it's what users tend to do best. Forcing people into frames is inaccessible and, quite frankly, a usability nightmare - and they are extremely annoying. If your client wants to tick off his potential customers, what he's asking for is a really good way to achieve that end!

LandynRed; Thanks for the advice and info. It is much appreciated.
