Yeah…it’s not the best idea in the world, but I use it. Go here:

I used frames to keep the header in Flash going, then the links (the ones that work - I’m lazy!!) will just target the frame underneath.
Frames aren’t the best thing to use because not everybody’s computer will support frames.

Okay, this is a little more in depth to what I used on my site, but it explains everything:
[http://www.htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/frames/frameset.html](http://www.htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/frames/frameset.html)
Basically, your index.html file sets up where the frames are going to be, then loads in the correct files into the proper targets.

Okay, here’s a little tut that I worked up for you. You can download all the working files and toy with them until you get them the way you want it. Hope it helps!!

There’s a readme.txt file in the zip file that will tell you what to do. Good luck!!

Yeah, I got your email from before that said ‘could you help me get the navigation right underneath the header’. Do you mean centered underneath or off to the side? I’m confused.
BTW, did you see that tutorial I put up on frames six posts back? I figured that would answer all you questions; if not, let me know, okay?

In that frameset file (frameset.html in the tut), you’ll have to have a frameset that defines three areas, or three rows. Like this:
```php
```
Then list your three source files like in the tutorial. Also get rid of anything dealing with ‘frameset cols…’ (columbs). This way you have three sections; the first one is 100 pixels high, the navigation area is 25 pixels, then whatever is left is the astrick.

Alright newbie - here’s the file.
Make three pages in the same directory called:
header.html
navigation.html
main.html
These are the three called up by this file. The target in your navigation needs to be ‘main’.
