This is a problem that started in another forum. ((Calling all graphic's experts/Random Discussion
http://forums.techguy.org/showthread...3&pagenumber=2)) The thread kinda drifted off subject... oops! I thought it would be more appropriate here.

I seem to be having a minor brain lapse and cannot get this frame stuff down. What am I missing?

Here is my code:
((I removed the "<>" for posting))
___________
html
head
title Just a work in progress... /title
/head

body
FRAMESET COLS="20%,*" FRAMEBORDER="0" FRAMESPACING="0" BORDER="0"

NOFRAMES
h1 align=center Frame Page - You need a frame-ready browser. /h1

FRAME NAME="Test" SRC="Test.html" MARGINWIDTH="3" MARGINHEIGHT="10" SCROLLING="no"
FRAME NAME="justtesting" SRC="justtesting.html" MARGINWIDTH="3" MARGINHEIGHT="10"
/frameset
/body
/HTML

I'm using geocities advanced HTML Editor. (Just straight "type it in yourself" text.)

On the other pages I have seen, it looks like they set up 3 pages. (I have Test.html, Test_index.html, & justtesting.html. ) On Test_index.html is where the above frame code is placed. Feel free to check out the other pages and view source also.
http://www.geocities.com/namethatno...Test_index.html
http://www.geocities.com/namethatno...Test.html
http://www.geocities.com/namethatno...justtesting.html

Any clues?

cwolfe98----For some reason the hyperlinks you posted work but return a "Page Can't Be Found" from geocities.

The frames coding should be located in the "index.html" file. I don't know why your index file is named "test_index.html". Did you name it this?

[cwolfe98]

For some reason the TSG site addreviated the address. (I cut & pasted it from my address bar.) It shows up like this after posted at TSG:
http://www.geocities.com/namethatno...Test.html

But should be this http://www.geocities.com/ name that no one has/ Test.html ((Without the spaces.)

Yes, I named it index.html and text_index.html. Geocities really does not care what you call it. I named it test_index b/c as soon as I get my website rewrite done I will remove the word test that is infront of all the .html files, thus rewriteing. (test_page1, test_index, test_photos, etc...)
The index file at geocities is not really a file where you can put stuff. It is just the name of my front/welcome page to my website.

If you need to see what I am talking about. PM me, and I will give you my geocities user name and password.

cwolfe98-----I'm looking into the problem to see if I can find the answer. Of course if anybody else knows the answer please feel free to jump in.

Normally, the basic structure of the web site when using frames is contain in the "Index" folder under the root directory. This "Index" file controls the apprearance of all the pages. In other words, you don't have to code frames for each page of the site. It's been a while since I've done one so I need to refresh my memory. I'll try to get to it tonight and post tomorrow.

hey wolf, looking good. To clear up the frame source problem instead of just putting in frame src="test.html" enter in the complete address of the page. Also I was thinking that that stuff should be above the no frames tags, I know it is on my page. Otherwise I can't see any problems with it

[cwolfe98]

It must be something soooooo easy, thats why its not working.

Todd,
I tried that, no luck.

Could it be geocities??? I'm sure they allow simple little 'ol frames!

[Toddles18]

Try the code in the attached file.

[cwolfe98]

Hummm... Looks like I had the frame % off, and seems like some tags moved around....and .... BINGO! You did it!

I'll have to study it closer and see exactly how and why it is working.

Thanks! I'll let you know when the "remodeling" at my site is finished!

[cwolfe98]

Ok, got another bug to work out. I'm sure it is something easy, but I'm just not seeing it.

Why are the links opening up on the left frame(where the menu is) and not on the right frame??

View source(s) at http://www.geocities.com/namethatnoo...est_index.html

[Toddles18]

You need to target your link, heres the discription on how to do that. http://www.apycom.com/apmenu/apmenu/params.html

I'll attach what your code should look like for it to work.


BTW, your page is looking good

[cwolfe98]

oops,,, I tried "_frame name" , that didn't work. And had "_self" as default. "frame name" seems to work without the _ .

I guess I should try to read a little instead of just trial and error.

Thanx!
