[brown2005]

echo'<FRAMESET cols="800, 200" border="0" frameborder="0" framespacing="0">';

echo' <FRAME src="main.php" name="main" scrolling="auto" frameborder="0" noresize>';   

echo' <FRAME src="sponsors.php" name="sponsors" scrolling="no" frameborder="1" noresize>';

echo'</FRAMESET>';

 

i have the above frame

 

but when i click on a link in main.php

 

it creates

 

echo'<FRAMESET cols="800, 200" border="0" frameborder="0" framespacing="0">';

echo' <FRAME src="main.php" name="main" scrolling="auto" frameborder="0" noresize>';   

echo' <FRAME src="sponsors.php" name="sponsors" scrolling="no" frameborder="1" noresize>';

echo' <FRAME src="sponsors.php" name="sponsors" scrolling="no" frameborder="1" noresize>';

echo'</FRAMESET>';

I don't know what you mean... but don't you need to close frame tags?

DO NOT USE FRAMES. They can still be used, but they are useless and old. I remember netscape 2.0 was the first frame based browser. That has now changed and sooner or later it will not function properly. Take my word and use tables instead. Then use php include file for each cell. It does the same exact thing, but is more modern!

the frameset is somehow out-of date design style. I will prefer to use table too.

 

did u mean the frameset was repeated again in the mainframe?

Actually, use div tags. That is what I here. I currently use tables and it works just fine, but some professionals are saying to stick with div tags because it is easier. I don't agree, but if you want to be super modern, use that!

Yup Divs are the way to do it these days

Makes it easier to modify you webtemplate and your page loads faster without tables.

Just takes a little getting use to thats all

Can you give the url where i can see the page for accurate answer as i am not clear with your question.

 

Thanks...

If you want to use frames, the alternate route I would go is with DIV tags and use library(.lbi) items instead of frames. Define your DIV display width, height and position and then insert the library items into the DIV using a template page. Then instead of your "main" frame you have a "main" DIV id that you can edit. Makes all pages seemingly fluid.
