I really don't even know how to do frames, and I don't really get it on Lissa's Frame Page. I want it like lissa's, if it is a frame. Her new layout has it on the top, so I was wondering if anyone knows how to do that, with pictures as the links. For an example of an image name I supposed to change, just use image.gif, because I usually only use gifs. It's for a neopets guild website, and I'm planning on changing the layout, and maybe getting my OWN website(www.myname.com), so does anyone know how to do the frames like lissa's? I'd prefer email at kittypurrrson10@yahoo.com, but you can post if you'd like I guess. And I'm not sure about the "index" thing. Are you ALLOWED to put text and images on it? I'm not real sure. Because it says "This is the page where you don't put images or text on it, just the frame and click here" or the enter sign or something like that. So I'm wondering. See ya

Oh, I also have another problem. You don't have to answer ALL of them, just the one(s) you know. So here it goes:http://www.freewebs.com/hotlavagirls/layouts.htm I tried to put the "CSS" code for the layouts in the textarea, but it turned out to be the layout on the page itself. So if anyone knows how to fix it, please let me know!

the new layout doesnt use frames, i don't think the old one did either :confused:. if they were frames, they wouldn't move when you scrolled down. lissa uses a bunch of linked images made to fit nicely together, using a div code. (lissa i hope you dont mind me answering questions about your own site!!) on the index page, you don't put ANYTHING except the frames codes, title of the site, and maybe a link to the main page of your site if the persons browser doesn't support frames. like here's the code for the index page of my site:

<html>
<head>
<title>..::Thekatgrl::..</title>
</head>

<frameset cols=25%,75% border=0 frameborder=0 framespacing=0>

<frame src="http://www.geocities.com/thekatgrl/lobby.html" name="leftside" style="border:3 solid #9933ff" scrolling="auto" noresize>

<frame src="http://www.geocities.com/thekatgrl/home.html" name="rightside" style="border:3 solid #ffccff" scrolling="auto" noresize>
</frameset>

<body>
</body>

<noframes>
<a href="http://www.geocities.com/thekatgrl/home.html">Does your browser not support frames? Click Here.</a>
</noframes>
</html>

i don't know much about div layouts, so i can't help you there. g2g! hope this was helpful!

No, the new LEIA layout uses SSI and not frames. SSI is more compatable with browsers.

To find out about SSI, try http://www.lissaexplains.com/html6.shtml

just a note about SSI- bellportal was technically right- SSI will work properly with all browsers. that's because the browser never sees the SSI code. it is processed on the server (server side includes), then the result is sent to the browser.

generally, it's safer to use server side languages and things as long as your host supports them because you know that it will work on every browser.

however, the information that you want is that the site uses tables rather than frames. SSI is not a method of placing things on a page, like tables and frames are. apples and oranges, here :)

not completely wrong but a little lol. she uses for the menu no divs at all just a table that have those images in them. ALthough someimages are positioned with <div align="center"></div> but divs don't put images together they only position :)
