Need help… please!!

Moving FRAMED website from front page into dreamweaver. In FP I was able to set one main frameset – split top and bottom. Top has navigation bar and bottom loads individual pages - many of these pages are various URLS that are affiliated with our main organization. I need to keep this set up…unfortunately.

In FP I was able to set up one main frameset w/ a top frame that was static. This program had a feature that would allow me to switch out the bottom frame (retarget it to another page or URL). This was nice because I did not have to have a complete frameset for each individual page – I just set up the pages that were to load in the bottom frame.

Is there a way to do this in DW or must I have a complete frameset for each page (that seems very bloated)?

I feel like I am just not getting this…am I missing something, I need my top navigation to be static while the bottom switches content – some of this content will be from remote URLs. Is there a better way to do this???

<html>
<head></head>
<frameset rows="116,*" border="0">

<frame name=topFrame scrolling=no noresize src="NavBar.html">
<frame name=mainFrame scrolling=auto src="homepage.html">
<noframes>I used a frameset to design this page </noframes>

</frameset>
</html>

starttag a href="contactinfo.html" target="mainFrame" endtag. the page contactinfo.html will load into the frame named mainFrame To load it into the topFrame use target="topFrame"

Good luck

Ahem, a correction, if you will.
