I know its not as simple as it seems due to it being a frameset. It seems i can't give the index page a title but all the other pages i can.

Anyone help?

I havent used frames for a long, long time, so I am guessing.

But isnt it something like this?

<HTML>
<TITLE>Title of Page</TITLE>

<FRAMESET COLS="50%,50%">
<FRAME SRC="pageone.html">
<FRAME SRC="page2.html">
</FRAMESET>

</HTML>

<title>you should use the title tags on every page. Especially the FrameSet Page! (What you have called the index page..)</title>

Also, always give the frames a name and use a name that means something. It makes the site more accessable. Screen readers can read the frame names and this lets the user understand what you are using each frame for...

<frameset rows="*" cols="150,*" framespacing="0" frameborder="NO" border="0">
<frame src="Navigation.htm" name="navigationFrame" scrolling="NO" noresize>
<frame src="Content.htm" name="ContentFrame">
</frameset>

But First, ... ask yourslef why you NEED to use frames. If you answer is anything but I NEED to because.... Then think about NOT using them.

Yeh, using frames on your site isnt a good idea...

I agree with Chip. Unless you really need to use frames for some reason (and I'm having a hard time thinking of where a frame would ever be necessary) you really don't want to use one.

Chances are there is a much better way to accomplish the same thing.
