Ok so i found this templat i really want to use, I can do all the graphic design as well as add new images and play with the code thats no prob, my issue is that it simply has all the button links on the side that go nowhere (i guess thats obvious) but when I create the new pages for the links what do i title them to make them show up in the correct place, whenever i simply try linking a page in Dreamweaver it just acts as if there is no frames? sorry if im a bit iggnorant I just need some help Ill post the code

<html>
<head>
<title>YOUR WEB PAGE TITLE GOES HERE</title>
<META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="main.css">
</head>
<body>
<table class="Global" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
<tr><td height="150" colspan="2" style="background: #ffffff; color: inherit;">

The code "<a href="#">" links to nothing, so you have to change the links to what you named the files (ie. <a href="contactme.html">)

If your using frames you may also have to specify a target (ie. <a href="contactme.html" target="rightframe">).

The target depends on what the frames are called.

It doesnt seem to appear that you are using frames though... Did any other html files come with this template? Do you mean columns on the same page?

yeah its columns, so nm that won't work Ideally Im looking into learning more into designing though Not sure exactly what I'm looking for I would like to learn whatever that page is---> http://modthatcube.pxn-os.com/main.htmthough Im not sure if thats java or not if so anybody know some resources i can start out with learning the basics of making webpages like that?
thanx

For columns, you cannot reload a single column by its self, you must reload the whole page. So what you would do is change all the links to what you are going to call the files (ie. <a href="home.html">Home</a>) and so on for all the links.

Then you make copies of the same file and name them according to the links and change the information in the content column for each page.

Give me a few minutes and ill download the template, maybe ill be able to give you better instructions.

UPDATE: Your missing a section from the template, but besides the point, all your links will be in the "BEGIN 3D BUTTON MENU SECTION" and near the bottom you have the page content on the right between the DIV tags...

i.e.
<div style="width: 95%;">
YOUR RIGHT HAND SIDE PAGE CONTENT GOES HERE
</div>

So once you've changed the links, you just make copies of the same file and name them "contactme.html" or whatever you set the links to and change the right hand content to whatever should be there.

I hope that makes sense, feel free to ask questions

I think it easier not to use frames at all

**Exodus** · 05-17-2007, 04:54 AM

yeah I know It's just I have a ton of content to put into this page but to hell with the whole Idea more frustrating than its worth for Now I really appreciate the help but I cracked open the old book of Flash and Actionscript touch up on that and I should be good to go again, its just been so long since Ive done any of this stuff I forgot all the languages I learned in my first couple years in college, guess thats what happens when you stop using them

**HighVoltage123** · 05-17-2007, 11:22 AM

Actionscript uh... I was doing something today and I got sick of it - a simple gallery with slideshow (the pictures are constantly scrolling) and thumbnails... when you click on a thumbnail the slideshow is rewinding and the picture appears - the slideshow stops... it doesn't seem hard but it turned out to be not that easy...

but I did it (it took me 2 hours almost)
