This would be easy to do with CSS. Is there any specific reason you want to use frames?

**praveen** · 11-12-2005, 12:08 AM

Code:

<html>

<frameset rows="25%,50%,25%">

<frame src="frame_a.htm">

<frameset cols="25%,50%, 25%">
<frame src="frame_b.htm">
<frame src="frame_c.htm">
<frame src="frame_b.htm">

</frameset>
<frame src="frame_e.htm">
</frameset>

</html>

here you go

also if u need any help or understanding the codes, be sure to take a look at w3schools.com

simple and easy to understand

and Good luck

I have not started diving into CSS yet but I didn't know this could be done with CSS. Can you give me some websites that are set up this way with CSS or a site with a tutorial to learn this. Thanks.

Thanks a lot Praveen.

By the way, I have a lot of info I want to put on the site and I thought frames would be the simplest or best way to display it. Having multiple pages come up seems like a good idea. Having multiple navigation tools/bars is a must with the site I'm working on. If there's a better and easier way, please help or point me in the right direction.

Thanks

take it slowly..
there is no hurry..

once u learn things, then you will understand it.

no need to rush

main thing is you have to be comfortable with it. so go with what you understand and know and then there is always time to change

i would suggest
www.w3schools.com

they have the easiest and simple tutorials on everything

If you get comfortable with HTML and feel like diving into CSS sometime, a good place to learn (in addition to w3schools.com) is http://www.ssi-developer.net/main/templates/3col.shtml
I learn best by example and these templates really helped me understand how to lay things out. They also have some tutorials here.

i have never used frames i can do them but i have been told that they dont always work the same in all browsers and some old ones they just dont work

i would probly use table for that layout like this code

Code:

<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
<tr><td colspan="3">top</td></tr>
<tr><td>left</td><td>center</td><td>right</td></tr>
<tr><td colspan="3">bottom</td></tr>
</table>

then you could use a php file base for the hole website and use one layout for the hole site and use seprate file and include them with php like this

PHP Code:


			
<?php include('filename.php'); ?>

so you can include say the header in each page and the footer in each page buy using that code then on other pages just use a diffrent center section with that code it does make alot of files but when you want to alter say the header of the hole site you can do it from the header file and that would alter every page on the site

well that what i do hope that info is of some use if not just scroll past this post and pertend its not here LOL

I would avoid frames altogether for better SEO.
