holmedwa04 Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 You need to put the information you want into the page that you are linking to, so make a page for the middle, on for the left, and the right etc. Then make a page with your frames on that accesses them.

If you have for example a web page with 5 frames, does that mean you would need 5/6 web pages just to make 1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holmedwa04 Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 Yes, it depends on your content, but once you have the main setup you just need to make your different pages and you keep the same frame setup, so you could have 5 frames, frames 1 - 4 being standard on each page and the 5th frames being for your content which would change when you clicked your links.So for example a page with a top bar, left and right side bars a main body and a contact bar at the bottom would need 6 pages, but after that you would only need to make lots of different main content pages, if you get what I mean, because the top bar, left and right side bars and the contact bar would alway be there.
