Ok frames suck. HeHe.

But I'm a complete noob and frames were easy to implement. Now I would like to change to something other than frames so google can find all my pages.

Here is my layout:
1.Top Frame contains main navigation. As you click each link it changes the contents of...
2. Left frame containing a collapsible list of links. each week we will be adding more to this list. As you click each link it changes the contents of...
3. Main frame. This displays the main stuff. There are going to be lots of these pages (100+), adding more each week. I need search engines to index all this stuff but using frames it is not working.

Ive looked through these and other forums and there seems to be a few options. I would prefer to choose the easiest that will allow me the flexibility I need. Since I know nothing of php and css, could you please give me some suggestions?

Thanks for your help

can we see what your site looks like??? umm i got 2 suggestions.

1. u could use tables a little more complicated than frames but better in the long run.
2. use a .php#id i dont know exactly how it works but it does PM WaHoOoO! he knows about or if some1 replies after me!! hope this helps!

I too was a big fan of frames back in the day. The easiest alternative that I have found has been using PHP includes. If your ISP supports PHP I would look into that, it still allows you to break up your page like you would with frames, (ie header, menu, content, footer, whatever) but since PHP is executed server side, it all looks like beautiful frameless html when Google rolls around.

Thanks for gettin back to me. Im at that stage where i dont even know WHAT question to ask LOL.

A Tutorial told me that search engines don't index dynamic content. I need everyone of my pages indexed.

If i use PHP to do a menu on the left which changes displayed content on the right, will google still index all my content?

Ive been looking at this tutorial http://www.jwweb.com/20010722.html

Is there a way to do this stuff so that a search engine can index all my pages?
