headers and footers on a page with a frameset?

[TobyA]

Dear Web Gurus,

I haven't used frames for about 10 years, but a project has come up that requires two html pages to be displayed in one browser window.

I want an MSN style layout with two columns which are resizable like this:-

http://www.cageonline.co.uk/toc/

However I also want to have a header and footer like this:-

http://www.cageonline.co.uk/arcadmin/home.htm

I just tried putting a frameset within my content div and it didn't like it.

I guess if I'm using frames a need to make a seperate html doc for the header and footer, rather than using DIVs.....

Are frames considered deprecated now?

Cheers,
Toby

You could use iframe for what you need.

Thanks for your response Vragabond.

However it says here "Inline frames may not be resized".

I would like the user to be able to resize the frames.

OK, so I'm getting to grips with frames a little bit but I'm still having a few "issues".

I have recreated my page using frames:-

http://www.cageonline.co.uk/arcadmin/

This is a 3 frame layout. From here I am trying to link to this 4 frame layout:-

http://www.cageonline.co.uk/arcadmin/frameset.htm

How do I do this without opening frameset.htm in a new window?

Also, frameset.htm seems to have a 15px (or so) margin on the right hand side of the page when viewed in IE.

Any suggestions?

Thanks a lot.
