Hello all,

I'm new to dreamweaver (version 8), and I'm trying to modify a couple of pages, but I'm stuck at the frameset page. When I open the frameset I don't see any frame inside it.

Do I have something turned off, that doesn't let me see the frames inside the frameset?

I would greatly appreciate your help!

Thanks in advance!

Aldi

DW doesn't load the contents of framesets when you open the frameset file, only the frameset itself.

You need to open the individual pages of the framset to edit the contents.

In other words look for the pages that are linked to from the frameset.

Thank you vacunita for your reply!

The frameset has the following line of code,

<frame name="mainFrame" src="welcome.html">');

which I think leads to the next page (welcome.html), but when I open the welcome.html page in dreamweaver it only has the code below, which doesn't lead me to any other linked page.

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>My Site</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY bgcolor="#FFFFFF">

</BODY>
</HTML>

Any idea how go through this?

Is there any other frame in the frameset, perhaps one that contains the navigation?

The frameset shows (Contains no frames) in the frames panel.

Below is the code in the frameset:

<html>
<head>
<title>My Site</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--
var size = null;

if (screen.width < 805)
{
document.write('<frameset rows="102,*" frameborder="yes" border="1" framespacing="0">');
document.write(' <frame name="topFrame" scrolling="NO" noresize src="top.html" >');
//document.write(' <frameset cols="125,*" frameborder="yes" border="1" framespacing="0">');
//document.write(' <frame name="leftFrame" scrolling="NO" noresize src="left.html">');
document.write(' <frame name="mainFrame" src="welcome.html">');
}
else if (screen.width < 1026)
{
document.write('<frameset rows="128,*" frameborder="yes" border="1" framespacing="0">');
document.write(' <frame name="topFrame" scrolling="NO" noresize src="top.html" >');
//document.write(' <frameset cols="160,*" frameborder="yes" border="1" framespacing="0">');
//document.write(' <frame name="leftFrame" scrolling="NO" noresize src="left.html">');
document.write(' <frame name="mainFrame" src="welcome.html">');}
else
{
document.write('<frameset rows="160,*" frameborder="yes" border="1" framespacing="0">');
document.write(' <frame name="topFrame" scrolling="NO" noresize src="top.html" >');
//document.write(' <frameset cols="230,*" frameborder="yes" border="1" framespacing="0">');
//document.write(' <frame name="leftFrame" scrolling="NO" noresize src="left.html">');
document.write(' <frame name="mainFrame" src="welcome.html">');
}

//-->
</SCRIPT>
</frameset>

top.html or left.html should contain more information.

I would guess,. and this is just a guess mind you, that left.html might have the navigation with the links you need to open.

From there look for the links to other pages.

hi vacunita! yes I have a top.html and a left.html with the code below. I guess I would have to learn flash too.
Thanks for all your help!!!

<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="top.swf">
<EMBED src="top.swf">

<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="left.swf">
<EMBED src="left.swf">

Those could just be animations.

There aren't any other links inside left.html? or are all the links and menus coming in from the flash file?

you could always just open all the html files in the folder where you have this until you find the one you want.
