No matter what I can't understand frames. I've been trying to learn them for a few months now and I've been through a few HTML sites, even here. I just don't understand any of it and any time I go to put the frame set things, IE:

<FRAMESET COLS="15%,*" NORESIZE BORDER="yes" BGCOLOR="black" BORDERCOLOR="white" MARGINHEIGHT="100%" MARGINWIDTH="20%">
<FRAME SRC="http://www.geocities.com/dejavuwingzeye/index.html" NAME="index">
<FRAME SRC="http://www.geocities.com/dejavuwingzeye/MainClearing" NAME="header">
<FRAME SRC="http://www.geocities.com/dejavuwingzeye/MainClearing" NAME="main">
<A HREF="http://www.geocities.com/dejavuwingzeye/alliances" TARGET="_top"><font color=white>alliances</font></A>
</FRAMESET>


It does nothing for me. I just don't get it. Can anyone help me?

what is it that you're trying to do? your frameset says you want 2 frames but your code says you want 3 but 2 are going to the same place. the 1st one goes to a frameset too. and what is that link to alliance?

Okay, you kinda confused me there. Here's what I want, a frame on the left hand side that would have all the links on the site instead of just putting them in a table on the site somewhere. And I just can't do frames and no site can explain them to me in a way I understand.

i think this is what you want :) just change the 'url_to_left.html' to a page with the navigation menu on it.

think of the 'frameset' as a picture frame and the 'frame' as one of those little holes that you put the pictures in. so you have 1 picture frame with 2 individual pictures in it. 1 being on the left and the other on the right just like the part that says, 'cols="15%,*"'.

<html>
<frameset cols="15%,*">
<frame src="url_to_left.html" name="leftnav">
<frame src="http://www.geocities.com/dejavuwingzeye/MainClearing" name="body">
</frameset>

<a href="http://www.geocities.com/dejavuwingzeye/alliances" target="_top"><font color="#FFFFFF">Your browser does not support frames please click here.</font></a>

Hmmm....I did what you said but it just seems to work. Thanks anyhow. I guess I'm just doing things wrong. Lol, I'll never get frames....evil things. I'm sure what you did would work but I'm just somehow messing it up. See I put the code you gave me into the index, that and that alone. I then went and made the nav. bar, and put that in for the left thing you told me to. And somehow it still doesn't work, I just get the normal page.....But thanks anyhow!

what are the names of your html pages? i'm not sure if MainClearing and alliances are directories or files. i'll need to know what the page names are and where they're located in order to get this to work.
