:confused: This code is driving me batty! I have my frame made, and my main page made, in my notepad, and I did this once before(a year or 2 ago), and I didn't seem to have this much trouble. but now I cant get the frame to show up, I want a frame on the left of the page. Someone please help, and tell me what I am doing wrong, right now this is my coding that I have(which I seem to thing, I have it all messed up, because it didn't seem this complicated before.)

<frameset>
<frame src="frame.html"
frame name="frame"
frame marginwidth=1
frame marginheight=1
frame scrolling=auto
</frame>
</frameset>

Thanks so much, if you can help me :)

You have it all messed up.

<frameset cols="20%,80%">
<frame src="frame.html"
name="frame"
marginwidth="1"
marginheight="1"
scrolling="auto"/>
<frame src="mainpage.html"
name="main"
marginwidth="1"
marginheight="1"
scrolling="auto"/>
</frameset>

hmm... Thanks.... It helps alot more... just now I'm stuck again... My frame is there, and in my frame, I have the background that I created for the frame, but in the main page, my background image, has now dissapeard... What happend? what do I do to fix it.. here is the codes I have so far, on my main page.

And also my "bla bla bla" text isn't showing up, and my special cursor is only working in the frames..
And How do I get my links from the frame, to open up in my mainpage window area? because right now it is making multiple frames, every time I click on the link I created in my frame.

And just so you know, my main page is index.html, and my frames is frames.html. :)


<html>

<head>
<title>mainpage
</title>

<style>
<!--
BODY{
cursor:url("cursur.cur");
}
-->
</style>

<frameset cols="20%,80%">
<frame src="frame.html"
name="frame"
marginwidth="1"
marginheight="1"
scrolling="auto"/>
<frame src="index.html"
name="index"
marginwidth="1"
marginheight="1"
scrolling="auto"/>
</frameset>
</head>

<BODY BACKGROUND="pb.jpg">

bla bla bla
</body>

</html>

No, you have to use a seperate page for the frameset. Call your index.html something like main.html, and then put in index.html:

<html>
<head>
<title>Kimi's Site</title>
</head>
<frameset cols="20%,80%">
<frame src="frame.html"
name="frame"
marginwidth="1"
marginheight="1"
scrolling="auto"/>
<frame src="main.html"
name="main"
marginwidth="1"
marginheight="1"
scrolling="auto"/>
</frameset>
</html>

:) Thanks much again! :)

I just have one more question, how do I get the link to open in my main page, and not another frame?

You can use the target= attribute of the anchor tag to define where a link will open.

<a href="page.htm" target="main">Another page</a>

<frameset rows="16%,*" border="0">
<frame name="menu" src="menu.html">
<frame name="main" src="main.html">
<noframes>

Ignore the guy above, who just more or less repeated what I said, but neglected all the style effects you wanted, neglected the rest of the page, and for some reason used <noframes> instead of </frameset>.
