How do I create a "Top" frame with "Left" frame for navigati 1

[tyhand]

Hey all,

Oh boy, is my html rusty! I've been using wysiwyg editors for so long, I've forgotten how to code by hand. To add, my editor isn't working properly.

Anyway, I'd like to know how to create a page with a fixed top frame, a left frame for navigation and then the final visible area for my pages to load?

What I want is for my "top" frame to stretch across the entire width of web page and for my "left" navigation frame to be in a fixed position on left right underneath the top frame. Thus, when a visitor goes to scroll, both the "Top" and "Left" frames will stay in place while viewing the content on the lower right hand side.

Any help from my old tek-tips pals is greatly appreciated.

Peace!

I haven't touched frames in a while, but it'll be something like this:

<frameset rows="100,*">

   <frame name="frameTop" src="whatever"></frame>

   <frameset cols="100,*">
      <frame name="frameLeft" src="whatever"></frame>
      <frame name="frameRight" src="whatever"></frame>
   </frameset>

</frameset>

That should be enough of a poke to the old grey matter to steer you in the right direction, anyway. You'll have to read up about the frameset and frame elements to work out how to enable or disable resizing.

Hope this helps,
Dan

Oh, I will do it if nobody else will.

Tyhand, if it is appropriate for your situation you really should give some thought to moving away from frames and toward a more modern presentation involving styled content.

There, I said it.

Thanks guys for the help.

BigRed - you're right. But it's a website I'm building for my little bro who just insists on using frames LOL!

Thanks again!
