Well, for a start your coding is WAY off track!!! :> (thats ok - beginners mistake :)
You say you want a Column on the left and then the main frame on the right. Well the
> <FRAMESET ROWS="80,*,80">
is wrong - youve got Rows (ie - across wise) there, not columns (up/down).
so <FRAMESET COLS= > is what you need.
also the "80,*,80" means you have 3 rows there. the star means "whats left of the page" and is used for variable width/height frames.
the line should read:
<FRAMESET COLS=80,*>
which means column one is 80 wide, and column two is the rest of the page.
the next bit:
> <FRAME SRC="main.html" SCROLLING=no
> MARGINHEIGHT=4 MARGINWIDTH=4>
> <FRAME SRC="about.html" NAME="About">
> <FRAME SRC="pics.html" SCROLLING=no
> MARGINHEIGHT=4 MARGINWIDTH=4>
Ive never come across Marginheight and marginwidth so i cant comment on that but eticate says that you NAME the frame before you SRC it. Also, you said youonly want 2 columns but then you name and src 3 of em???????
<FRAMENAME="pics" SRC="pics.html" SCROLLING="no" NOREIZE>
<FRAME NAME="main" SRC="main.html" SCROLLING="no" NORESIZE>
is what that should be. I think when u say MARGINheight etc you should have FRAMEBORDER="4" but im not sure, as like i say, ive not come across that before. (its probably some crap IE or nutscrape coding....)
My frameset - which has a row at the top, then a button bank then the main frame goes as follows:
<FRAMESET ROWS=70,* FRAMEBORDER="1">
<FRAME NAME="top" SRC="banner.html" SCROLLING="no" NORESIZE>
<FRAMESET COLS=150,* FRAMEBORDER="1">
<FRAME NAME="buttons" SRC="buttonbank.html">
<FRAME NAME="main" SRC="intro.html">
</FRAMESET>
Hope this all helps :)
