I need help on how to put links into the left frame.
I have put this code in:

<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>

Now I know that you have to put this code in to put a link in:

<a href="newpage.html" target="rightside">Name of your link</a>

But I don't know where to put it.

Have you created the pages left.html and right.html? If not do so, then you just add your links and content to those pages as you would any regular .html page....

Well I have just put all that HTML on to one page thats all.
What do I have to do?

Well...you should have 3 pages, one which has the code you posted above...thats your main page which 'holds' the frames together, then you'll notice in the code it says left.html and right.html...those are the pages that will appear in the frames...so like i said above, create left.html and right.html and just add whatever you want to appear in them...

Ok so lets just say that I was creating a new page for the left frame.
What HTML would I put on that page?

on that page you would put whatever you wanted to appear in the left frame. create a normal HTML page (no special frame codes), just like you would if it was a standalone page.

<html>

<head>
<title>Title of the Page</title>
</head>

<body>
<a href="C:\My Documents\Home.htm" target="<frame src="left.html" name="leftside">">Enter</a>
</body>


</html>

Ok I made a new HTML page, this is the HTML code that I put in and it still won't work.
Could someone please tell which part of that code is wrong.
Thanx

Yep I've just done that.

lol:D

Ok heres the deal now.

When I open the page with the frames on in AOL, just the left and right frames come up with nothing in them.
Then when I open the separate HTML page for the left frame, I see the Enter link.
I need that link to be in the left frame.
How do I that?

Can you post the URL to the site?
Rikku555
03-30-2003, 01:29 PM
emm...I don't think I understand what you mean.
I am building this offline in Notepad.
Do I need a host to build the site or something?
Sheila
03-30-2003, 01:31 PM
Well, if you want other people to see it, then yes you will need a host. Also, it would really help seeing it, to help you better.
Rikku555
03-30-2003, 01:34 PM
No I can still see what I'm building even without a host.
I was wanting first at least to build most the site first without people seeing it.
Sheila

That's okay. I just am not sure how to help you with the problem that you are having now.
Rikku555
03-30-2003, 01:38 PM
Do you think that I would be able to do what I am trying to do if I got a host?
Sheila
03-30-2003, 01:39 PM
Go ahead and try that. If it still does not work, post the URL to the page. Okay? :)

Ok I have now found a host.
Bravenet.

Now let me just get this right.
I have to have 3 pages alltogether. One being the main page with the left and right frames on it.
Then two other pages for the left and right frames.

This is the HTML that I have on the page for both the left and right frames:

<html>

<head>
<title>Final Fantasy X-2</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>


This is the HMTL that I have on the page for the left frame:

<html>

<head>
<title>Final Fantasy X-2</title>
</head>

<body>
<a href="name of page with both frames on.htm" target="leftside">Enter</a>
</body>


</html>


Now when I open up the pages with both frames on both the frames are empty.
When I open the page for the left frame I can see the Enter link, that link I need to be in the page with both frames on, in the left frame.

How do I get that to work?

I think it has to do with your link....


You have this to enter to the frames page:
http://spirasff.bravepages.com/Final Fantasy X-2.html

You have spaces in that link. You can't have spaces. So you need to fix that in order for it to work.

Hope that made sense.

no sorry i don't really understand.

ok what i'll do is I'll tell ya what link i need and on what page I need it on, could someone please tell step by step what to do, then hopefully i'm can get this sorted once and for all :D


I need a link on the FFX-2 page in the left frame that leads to the home page. I need that link to be called Enter.


Sounds simple doesn't it :D

Like I said above there should be no spaces in your file names or links....

Since you have spaces in your link, when someone clicks on it...this is what the get

http://spirasff.bravepages.com/Final%20Fantasy%20X-2.html

The %20 appears because of the spaces. You need to correct your file names in order for it to work. You have to make it FinalFantasy and NOT Final Fantasy
