Hi,
I don't like frames but i think i have to use them to keep the same appearance throughout my site when i want to use perl scripts, eg shop cart, forum etc. So I want to use frames just for these pages. I have never used frames before Laughing out loud & i know nothing about them so can anyone tell me the best way to save them ?? the right way to show them on my site ?? and the difference between a "frameset" and a "frame" ?? and anything else i might need to know ??
My site is 4legs.fi & i want to keep the top, bottom & sides and put the shop cart etc in the middle.

Thanks in advance

Tony

Before you criticise someone walk a mile in their shoes......
Then, if they don't like what you say they are 1 mile away and barefoot.

The basics

means:
There are 2 frames and they are dividing the screen into 2 columns of both 50% of the screenwidth. The leftframe's source is duh.hmtl, the right's dah.html.

Options:
-You can change 'cols' into 'rows' (

Be sure to close all the s, s shouldn't be closed.
-When you type , there will be 3 columns. The middle column's width is 200px, the 2 outer columns share the rest of the screenwidth.
-try to play with things like: border="0/1/yes/no" marginwidth="xxx", marginheight="xxx", leftmargin="xxx", topmargin="xxx", framespacing="xxx", Noresize, Scrolling="auto/no/yes"
-Use Message for browsers that don't support frames.

Hmm, pretty long answer... Lucky for you TWF added a print button on the site yesterday!
Succes,
