programming web dev
1

Hello, I have 2 questions.
I am haveing trouble designing my web page. The thing is i read about tables and frames on the forum. I know what frames are but i dont really understand tables.

Here is my question, I want to do my web site in frames, I want it to have a Top, Middle, And bottom. The place i want to load and change when they click on a button is in the midlle part of the frame. Can somebody help me or tell me where i could learn how to do that and where i could learn what are tables and how to use them.

thank you very much.

PS
i am using dreamweaver mx
I have a layout of the web site on paper but i want to make the layout on dreamweaver

For frames:

When you create your page, there are diffrent types of frames you can select, just select the one you need. Thats the simplest method.

if your using flash theres no need to use frames you can just load movie clips into a target sort of like frames but diffrent, you cannot do this with tables if thats what you meant so maybe i misunderstood you anyways let me know what is it youre really trying to do :wink:

the code for the frames is:

<p><font face=“Tahoma” size=“2”> <frameset rows=“64,*,64”>
<frame name=“top” scrolling=“no” noresize target=“main”>
<frameset cols=“150”>
<frame name=“main”>
</frameset>
<frame name=“bottom” scrolling=“no” noresize target=“main”></font></p>

as for the tables (based on your drawing):

in the top frame:

<p><font size=“2” face=“Tahoma”><table border=“0” cellpadding=“0” cellspacing=“0” style=“border-collapse:
collapse” bordercolor="#111111" width=“100%” id=“AutoNumber1”>
<tr>
<td width=“100%” colspan=“2” dir=“ltr”>&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width=“50%” dir=“ltr”>&nbsp;</td>
<td width=“50%” dir=“ltr”>&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
</table></font></p>

in the middle frame:

<p><font face=“Tahoma” size=“2”><table border=“0” cellpadding=“0” cellspacing=“0"
style=“border-collapse: collapse” bordercolor=”#111111" width="100%"
height=“100%”>
<tr>
<td width=“33%” rowspan=“2”>&nbsp;</td>
<td width=“33%”>&nbsp;</td>
<td width=“34%”>&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width=“33%”>&nbsp;</td>
<td width=“34%”>&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
</table></font>
 </p>
this code will more than likely need to be manipulated to work for what you are doing but i figured you can paste this in there and try to play around with it untill you get it right. (Which is probably how everyone in here learned :slight_smile: but if its still to complicated i will explain and help more just ask.
