How do i create tabs, so that i can embed a webpage one one tab, or text, or whatever, and then different stuff on another tab, so that a visitor can view the embedded webpage thats on one of the tabs, then view another tab, then go back and the embedded webpage is just how it was?

Bear in mind that im dumb and i need it explained in basic terms.

Also, while im here, there must be some explanation somewhere about how to have a favicon for your website that can be understood by th dumbest of people (ie me), and which can result in me having a favicon within minutes. Evereywhere i go, i see explanations that make me want to tear my hair out. Nice and simple please.

Simple Tabs
I've tried to keep it simple

Favicon: Create a 16x16 pixel bitmap (.bmp) in whatever graphics tool you prefer. download Irfanview and convert your bitmap to the windows icon format (.ico)

Thanks for trying.

The tabs code doesnt work on my page, and the favicon thingy is doing my head in. I have no idea how to create 16X16 pictures. I have a picture and i would have thought that i could just go to Paint and resize it. If theres a way to do it on paint, i dont know what that way is. Even if i had a 16X16 picture id have no idea what to do with it. I cant believe i have to download software for something so straightforward.

You have to realise that although i do know some jargon and i do have some knowledge, when something simple turns into a massive event, i go crazy.

But thanks for trying. There has to be a way that i can understand without having to download stuff or read through pages of instructions that i dont even understand. Surely i could have it done in 5 mins, without the headache.

All this just for a little picture. Im not having a go at you, im just amazed that this is more complicated than it needs to be.

First off get a decent graphics program Gimp for instance or Inkscape both free.

And Gimp can create icon format files as standard.

Wait 'til you make a logo then.

Ok i now have a favicon. I saved it as favicon.ico and it2 24bpp. Whats the next step?

upload it to your website.

How? (Seriously, no idea)

Use the file transferring protocol along with a good FTP program.

If all else fails check here.

Thanks for that, but i think ill leave it for now and get back to it later. The idea of downloading, then uploading, reading long articles and going on wild goose chases just for a tiny picture is really ruining my day. I had no idea it was such a longwinded nightmare. Thanks again to those who have made their suggestions and im not having a moan at anyone, its just too much.

Back to tabs. Someone suggested a piece of code, it seemed straightforward but it didnt work for me. Are there any other codes out there?

lets see the page where you tried it and we'll tell where you went wrong

If you mean the tabs : http://leafarmusic.web.officelive.com/helpmeout.aspx

Thats just a test page that i use to see if various things work. When i put in the html code it just says one, two, three etc.

If you mean the favicon, i havent done anything with it because i dont know how to upload it to my site.

I'd suggest you get some proper hosting instead of that useless crap that M$ "provide".
I'm surprised it works in any browser, even the WYSIWYG garbage that FrontPage spews out is better than that!

Go and setup a freebie Wordpress or Blogger account. you'll have at least half a chance of making things work.
