frontpage frames
Hello
I have created lots of websites but today I'm trying to get my head around frames - I know Frontoage is not the best to create a frames page but can anyone help me with this?
Can you tell me how I move the frames from the left hand border? I can use the margins to move the text and graphics but the border is stuck to the left hand side so if I use a background colour visiters to the site can see the border stuck on the left? PLEASE HELP !! Thank you

Hi bmwebsites,
Sorry I can't help you with this particular problem (I don't have Front Page - you might have trouble finding someone around here who does!).
Frames really aren't a good approach for websites these days. Search engines have a lot of trouble crawling them so it's best to avoid them unless there's a really good reason not to.
It would help if you post a link to what we have so far so we can see what's going on.

I agree with Megan, a frameset can be a real problem.
I recently worked on a brochure page that the designer built out of 4 separate frames (for some kind of reason only known to the designer).
Then I was asked to SEO optimize the page. Meta tags on each frame and the frameset, image alts etc.
Initially, Google bots only indexed the one frame with text - so I had to add a script to load the parent frameset.
I would avoid frames - with the exception of iframes, which are a different beast altogether.
Front Page, Dreamweaver and other old-school editors generate a lot of bulky code, endlessly nested tables etc. Try an up to date WYSIWYG editor like CoffeeCup
