Header frame on my portfolio page

[AndyWhyteUK]

Hi all,

Sorry to be one of those guys that just signs up and straight asks a question but I have spent 2 days Googling this and trying various things without success.

I'm trying to create a portfolio type page for my companies website. I would like to link through to the websites in the portfolio but still have a navigation panel along the top similar to these 2 examples:


http://www.shopify.com/examples/browse


http://themeforest.net/item/paradise-premium-wp-theme/full_screen_preview/155505

I prefer the Shopify example as I like the idea of having a signup/pricing button as well as navigation.

Any help would be HUGELY appreciated.

Many thanks :)

That's a fairly standard use of frames. Unlike iframes, which are inline frames-- elements on your page like text or an image, frames are setup using a frameset which is a special kind of HTML page that essentially splits up the page into a rectangular grid and then loads specified pages into each rectangle within the grid. This way, you load your navigation page into the top frame (a very short frame/page, but it's "complete" within itself) then this page determines what URL is loaded in the other frame by the dropdown menu. You can do this using a serverside language like PHP or you could also use Javascript (for those visitors who support Javascript-- most but not all).

Thanks Daniel.
I'll give it a go! :)

I'll probably be back before long as I'm a bit of a newb with this stuff :P
