I don't really get what's the difference between a frames and a table layout. I mean cuz i want my layout to have nav. on the left and content on the right and a picture on the top. So does that mean i should make a frame AND table? aash im gettin greally confused here can somebody help me?

Frames open up a seperate page inside of another page. Tables don't. Tables are much easier to use, and I would suggest using them. Either that or a css layout.

In frames you have 2+ pages one with the nav and one with the content, but in tables you just have 1 page with everything on that page. If you use tables I would suggest using php or ssi includes to make you links easier to edit otherwise you have to change them on every page. :stickout:

I would only suggest using ssi or php includes if most of your pages are the same. Otherwise it would be overkill.

I use it for all of my menus. Just so when I change on link I don't have to change it 10 times.

Like I said, it would be overkill if most of your pages aren't the same. If you're using a constant menu then it's a good idea.
