Basic HTML question
I am new to web design and I have done my homework but can't find the answer to
this one. I have an html template that I was working from, very simple and
easy to use. All the images make the background nice and I was editting
buttons with hyperlink to other pages on my site and it would reload the entire
page when I clicked on them. I realize now that if I want to have a static
navigation bar, that I must use frames. The picture layout is sort of
complicated with boarders around both sides and the top part has my domain name
and my buttons. I wanted the text to load in the middle of the screen, exactly
the way this webpage is set up right now that I am typing at. I don't know how
to get my pictures into seperate frames so my page still looks the same, so
what is the best way to keep my webpage static and only have the text in the
middle window change?
I tried using the iframe command and that will work, but my pictures are in
tables and the window is one of the elements of the table, so I can put an
iframe in there and it will load, but I don't know how to change it so each
time I click on my button, the proper iframe (size, height) will load with the
new .html page, which for me is just text. If there is an easier way I would
like to try that. I hope this is ok to post here and thanks for the help (if
any).

you can use a SSI for your navigation bar with transparent color instead of iframe hope it works.

That would have no effect on the reload, laksinu, since the include has to
be inserted by the server *before* the page is refreshed.

Hi thanks for your response. I'm not quite sure how I could use SSI to
accomplish what I want to do. I can have my navigation bar using SSI which is
no problem, but how do I get the .html to load in a specific part of the table.
The way my webpage is set up right now is:
<html>
<body>
<table> contains top part of webpage with background pictures and navigation
bar with hyper refs. </table>
<table> this part contains the layout for the rest of my page and is where
I currently have the iframe. In one of the
table rows I have the line: <iframe src="home.html"
height="690" width="800"
marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0" scrolling="no">
</iframe> </table>
</body>
</html>
So as you can see I currently have no way of telling the iframe to load a new
..html file once a new button is clicked. Can I create some sort of variable
and have a switch statement or something to decide what iframe I want to load.
This seems like a lot of work for what I want to accomplish but there must be a
way.

This kind of thinking is what keeps frames alive. They should have been
discarded years ago! 8)
Show your page by posting a link to it. There are many people here who can
help, but your best bet would be to post on a much more active forum - the
Dreamweaver forum:
