Need Help With Frames

Recommended Posts

Hey everyone, I need help with frames. Say I click a button/link, I want it to appear in a certain box of the template. My friend just made a template from a tutorial, and wants me to make a site for him. With some knowledge of HTML, I ended up doing mostly everything, except for the framing. Because I'm going to use a shoutcast radio, I don't want the page to refresh everytime they visit a new link, otherwise the radio will restart for them. Can someone please give me a tag so if I click a button/link, it will appear in a certain area? Thanks.

even though im one to advocate against the use of frames this is what you need to add in your url<a href="yoururlhere.html" TARGET="_parent" >

My advice is not to use frames but instead use tables since they pretty much do the same thing except tables are easier to work with and are supported better by browsers

You can't replicate framelike behaviour using tables. The closest you can get (without using frames) is using includes which still won't prevent the page being refreshed when a new link is clicked.

It depends on what you are using for generating the html.

If you are using frontpage you can slect the target while you are creating the link.

 

If you make your html in a text editor linke notepad.

You have to watch in index.html what's the name of your window.

 

In the link you can then use that name in the parameter target.

 

 

Ex.

<HTML>

<FRAMESET ROWS="120,*">

<FRAME SRC="navi.html" NAME="navigationframe">

<FRAME SRC="start.html" NAME="mainframe">

</FRAMESET>

</HTML>

 

The source of the link :

 

<A HREF="vb-b.html" TARGET="navigationframe">Example b</A>
