i've been trying to get frames on my site now forever and it just doesn't seem to work. My browser does support frames on other sites but when i'm trying to do it, it wont work. I typed in this below and all i saw was the screen split, as it should be, but nothing else, not even the "click here" link. I've been trying before with colors and stuff but the same thing came up. Someone know what i'm doing wrong? I just really would like this to work..

<html>
<head>
<title>My Page</title>
</head>
<frameset cols=20%,80%>
<frame src="left.html" name="leftside">
<frame src="right.html" name="rightside">
</frameset>
<body>
</body>
<noframes>
<a href="your main page.html">Click Here</a>
</noframes>
</html>

Did you make a left.html and a right.html page?

try putting quotes around the size values:

<frameset cols="20%,80%">

Put this in index.html (Put ONLY the frame code in index.html....nothing else)

<html>
<head>
<title>My Page</title>
</head>
<frameset cols=20%,80%>
<frame src="left.html" name="leftside">
<frame src="right.html" name="rightside">
</frameset>
<body>
</body>
<noframes>
<a href="your main page.html">Click Here</a>
</noframes>
</html>



Then save this as left.html

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Your page title goes here</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>


---Everything that appears on your page will be entered here, text, images etc.---


</BODY>
</HTML>



Save this as right.html

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Your page title goes here</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>


---Everything that appears on your page will be entered here, text, images etc.---


</BODY>
</HTML>



If you are viewing it from your computer, just click on the index.html and it should work. Make sure all your files are in the same folder. If it is still not working, please upload it to your host so we can see what is wrong....much easier that way.
