I posted this already but i realized in the wrong section. hehe.

Please..i need some real help! I want to build a site using html and frames, and I decided to use geocities for that..is that a good idea? U can use html for geocities, rite? Anyway, thats not my main problem. I want to do frames, but then I READ Lissa's stuff on frames..tried it with geocities..and got NOTHING. I think I am doing something wrong..I want to create a site like this:

http://clik.to/Ng3 with links on top, a large scroll bar in the middle for posting stuff, and a wallpaper background. CAN ANYBODY PLEASE HELP me out? I really want to build my site, yet I am soo illiterate when it comes to graphics and stuff like this. Please help, i am desperrate for html knowledge! hehe.

Yes, you can do frames in Geocities. For I was a past user of geocities and used frames.
For now make sure your Internet browser (like AOL, Internet Explorer, MSN 8, yadda yadda yadda etc...) is capable of using frames. If that's the case then you need to upgrade your interent browser
Can you please post your code? There's probably a kink in there, I have used Lissa's Frame code and it works for me.

i knoe the code works for pple but then maybe it's not clear enuff for me or something. i dunno where to put it, and wat to do. I am very new to this as u can see..

index.html: This is the page that tells your frames what to do, it will not have any text or images on it that you can view. This index page is set up so that if someone has a browser that does not support frames, it has a link that will link to your main page. Your HTML should look like this (you can change the information in bold text):

<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>



left.html: This page is a regular html page, you can name it left.html and this is the page that will appear in the left frame.


right.html: This page is a regular html page, you can name it right.html and this is the page that will appear in the right frame when someone accesses your page.


result: This is what your page should look like if you do it right =)

are you using a basic or an advanced editor? frames don't work with basic editors, so you'll have to use the advanced one or a text editor on your computer to create the frameset page. however, you can use whatever you like to create the pages that get displayed inside the frames.

but i dunno where to start..it's confusing, like which page to put "right frame" and which page to put "left frame", etc...

Well...with the code you have there, the left would most likely be a side bar and the right would have the main page content.
