HTML Help--Frames question
 

Anyone know the html?

I'm updating my page and changing it to frames. I'm trying to figure out how to navigate the links from the left side frame to open up on the right side frame. Help!:confused:

Thanks!

As a general rule, Frames aren't a good choice for web design. It makes navigation more difficult. Things pop up in strange places sometimes, and it makes targeting your links hella difficult.

What you can do to get the look of frames is to have a navigation bar on the side or the top in a table, and then the body of your page in another table. The nav bar gets cached and doesn't have to load each time a new page loads.

That's not true. I've used frames and it's fine - they serve a purpose, specially in simpler settings. To me what you described, is pretty damn inefficient. I do server side code along with layers.

Thanks. The website had info that helped.

:D

Frames can be a good tool. I, personally, prefer tables. Each has its ups and downs.

Some older browsers don't support frames, so you will probbaly want to define some alternate content.
