Hello. I am a brand new beginner at this, and am very much in need of some help....any pointers on getting started would be ideal!

I have Photoshop and Dreamweaver on a Macbook Pro. What I would like is a fixed left frame, with no scrollbar, just the navigation text and a spot image below, that will stay fixed on the left, and a right frame that will display the content of the site, which would be scrollable. Now can all this be designed and coded in Dreamweaver? I just don't know where to start!

Thank you, anyone!

ok well as is most stuff in html, ur gonna wanna utilize tables. tables are what make up most of all websites and preventing it from scrolling is easy. just go to the page file that containt the ccoding for ur navbar and throw in the <noscroll></noscroll tags right after the <body> tag and right before the </body> tag. Hope that helps =P

I am also a starter in webdesign and i think you should use tables for your frame. And for a scrollbar you have to use something like this:

<style>
BODY {
scrollbar-shadow-color:#B3B3FF;
}
</style>.

You can off course do this in Dreamweaver which is very us because you can just import it.

I would recommend not using frames, they are terrible for search engines.

Incorrect. Tables are for tabular data, and any competent designer uses divisions and CSS.
