I'm Framed

[face2112]

Lets say I have a standard plain old web page with nothing on it. Now lets say
I want to insert 1 single frame to use as my target for links. I want to put
this frame, let's say, in the middle of the page on the right side, really
doesn't matter where.
Can you drag with your mouse a square indicating THIS is where you want a
frame to be? Is there any way at all to do this?
If anyone can help, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks!!

No.

Is there any way at all to do this?

You can use an IFrame. DW's support for them is pretty slim, and will
require you to manually code the required attributes. But IFrames have all
the same problems that frames do and are rarely the optimal solution for any
site.

Thanks Murray.. sounds like I'm asking for trouble. Maybe you know another way
around this. The problem is that one of my text links has to go to another
website (realty related). Once I go to this link, it leaves the main website.
The only way I see to keep it on the main website is inside a frame. The rest
of the site is just a plane jane site with a few tables and pics. I really
don't want to use frames at all, but I don't see another alternative. Is there
a way to have an external link open somewhere on your page without leaving the
site and without targeting a frame?
Can I target an area on the website page itself? This one link is my whole
problem, it's a property search that we have to use. I thought about having it
go to another page with my header and a body frame, but by doing that I lose
all my side navbar stuff. It just forces me to change the appearance of the
main page and thats what I want to stay away from.

You can have the new site open in a separate window by assigning the target
of "_blank" to the link (there are better, more valid ways of doing this,
but this is the easiest, although invalid for XHTML doctypes).

Othewise, you would need to us an IFrame. But that will bring the *entire*
site into that IFrame, navigation and all.
