Alrighty, I have been struggling with frames for years now. I decided to try and tackle them again, because I will need to use them for a computer class I'm taking next semester.

The problem is that I get the 'noframes' message despite the fact that my browser supports frames. This is what I have so far:
The site: http://www.geocities.com/silverflameca/frameset.html

the codes for that page (screencapped): http://pics.livejournal.com/silver_flame_ca/pic/000ba4kz
'left' frame: http://pics.livejournal.com/silver_flame_ca/pic/000bb1ww
and for the 'right' frame: http://pics.livejournal.com/silver_flame_ca/pic/000bcry6

Any help with what I've done wrong would be appreciated, thanks!

No body tags allowed on frameset pages. Get rid of both the <body> and the </body> tag on frameset.html. The no frames tag needs to be:


<noframes>
content for no frames browsers here
</noframes>

It is plural, with an s on the end. There could be other problems.

Thank you so much, it works now, mostly: http://www.geocities.com/silverflameca/frameset2.html
It's just the links that don't display properly now. I'm going by what the tutorial at htmlgoodies.com said about how to get them to open in different frames, but it's not working as they all open in new windows or the whole page instead of just one frame.

That's never going to work on Geocities unless the pages you are linking to are also on Geocities. They have a script that enforces their policy of not allowing offsite content to appear in a frame on their site. The second link (yahoo) is targeted for a new window in your code anyway and is working as expected. The other two appear correct and should work locally as expected, just not on Geocities.

Thank you so much again! I see your point about Geocities. I tried changing one of the links to a Geocities page and it works now.
I do have my own web space with my isp, I just don't have an ftp program at the mo, so Geocities was the quickest route to go.
