HTML Frames

Supradude · 04-20-2004, 06:09 PM

I am making a webpage for one of my classes and I am having trouble with frames. When I tell the weblink to open a webpage in a specfic frame it doesnt work and it takes over the whole page which includes sidebar. I have triple checked my code and that is not the problem. I think it is the webpage that I link to that might be the problem. If that is true is there anyway I can overide it without java script?

If you want to open frames, you should specify which part of the page, is it the main frame or other frames.

Post the code and I can take a look, save it as a .txt file and attach it.

what you have to do it name each frame in the index.html as in you have name=left name=right (would put the name attribute inside the frame tag), then when you want someone to click a link in the left page and have it load in the right, do target=right (would put this inside the anchor tag)
hope that helped ya out
