I hope I don't confuse you while trying to explain this....

I have a website template all made up for a new site I'm working on. It uses CSS and tons of tables. Now, I'm used to working with frames so this is kinda new to me. On the left side is the main text where all the content will go in one table. On the right side is a second table where the navigation is. Instead of adding all the navigation & extra tables on each page, is it possible only to redo the content table?

Thanks so much! Hope you could understand that...

are you saying you want the links to be targeted to the left table? If so, you may have to make an iframe in that left table. Name it "inlineframe.html" or whatever, then add this tag:

target="inlineframe"

to each of your links.

That's really the only way I know to do it. In fact, my site is set up like that. It works rather well, and especially if you're better at frames =) good luck

I just checked out your site and that is exactly what I was talking about, thanks.

Now I have to learn how to place the iframes in the table.. is there a special tag?? I'm gonna be lost... I'll post it in the frames forum.

Do I need seperate iframes for each of my navigation pages which will then target one iframe?? I am so lost....

not at all! hmmm, you can view my source if you want.... all you need is the one iframe...maybe my source will help (thank MagicSun for even helping me get it started in the first place, lol)

Hi!
I just went back to your site and I [think i do] understand it.. Ok, it just took me a little longer. lol. Thanks so much! You're a lifesaver! I guess I wasn't taking in that you just targeted your links to the iframe and made normal pages.. thanks again!!!!!
