A problem with HTML frames

[RuneBlade]

I just started making a site, and when I got into making frames I found a problem.
I have two frames. One on the left 70% and the right 30% with links to jump around the site.
Whenever I click a link on the second frame it either opens up in the second frame, or between the first and second. It is supposed to just change the first frame.
Heres a link so you can see for yourself:

Hmm. I've experimented with frames in Frontpage, and I believe that there's an option in there to open a link in a different frame without creating a new one. I'm not sure how to do that in HTML, but you might want to look it up or something.

My webpage (link in my sig) uses frames like that. Only problem is, I didn't program it... and the frames part is in Javascript.    Maybe it will be close enough to HTML to be helpful to you.

Im gonna look into that, thx for replying.

First, when using frames, you should only use when making a message to non-frames-compliant-browser people. Remove them.

Second of all, you need to give your frames names and set that as the target of the links. For example, when declaring the frame for the main part:

Should be more along the lines of:

So they are identified. Now, in your side bar page:

Home
Files

Should be changed to:

Home
Files

That way, the page knows that it will be loading that page in the object labeled "main", in this case the main frame of the page.

 This  seems to be a great tutorial on frames. I suggest reading through it to refresh yourself on frames and to learn about little quirks like this.

Try not to double post. It looks wierd.

http://www.davesite.com is a great resource. It's where I learned myself.

http://www.webmonkey.com is also a great site, although I prefer Davesite for the introduction.

1.Putting background music on your posts or signature is A.Probably not allowed, B.Probably not possible, C.Definately REALLY annoying.
2.This tutorial  will show you how to stick BG Music on your website, but I'd like to quote it:

 

Before you start, you should be aware that background music that automatically starts playing when a web page is loaded may not be appreciated by a large number of your visitors. Some of them, when greeted with the sudden blaring of music from their speakers, may immediately hit the BACK button of their browsers. This may occur even if you're playing a piece of music that you think is well loved by everyone: remember, there are people who surf the Internet in public libraries, at work, or in the dead of the night when others are asleep. Others may already have their favourite piece of music playing on their computer speakers, and your auto-playing music file will only cause them to be annoyed.

If you don't want your website to look like some Tripod 12-Year old piece of crap, then I'd recommend not putting background music.

As for your last comment, I can't glean what you mean. If you want that to be at the bottom of all your posts, stick it in your signature. I can see from your sig that you already know how to do this, so why you're asking me I don't know.
