Template with frames?

[snorestud]

Hello,

I was wondering if it is possible to have a template with 2 frames in them or
vice versa. I want to have a navigation menu on the left and bottom of each
page in my site. Any help is appreciated.

Cheers,
Jennifer

It's not possible to make a frameset page into a template. But really,
there would be no reason to do so.

It is possible to make each individual frame into a template.

Dear Murray,

Thanks for your response. I guess I need some advice. I want a left vertical
bar with a menu in it and bottom menu bar on each page for navigating the site.
What do you think is the best way to do that, excluding very difficult
scripting & coding. I am pretty amateur at this. Now if I have a left and
bottom frame, how do I get this to update throught the whole site when I make
changes? Also I can't make verticle templates, they all seem horizontal.

A table with your menu in the bottom row.

Use Library items, Templates, or Server-side includes - all explained in
DW's F1 help.

Sorry - I don't understand what you are asking here.

Dear Murray,

I mean I want a navigation menu on the left side of the page. I have an
example of what I want the page to look like here:
[url]http://www.snorestud.com/Flash/flashmenustest.htm[/url]

I just need the menus to be able to be edited through the whole site easily. I
tried making a template with the left menu but then I can put content right
beside it (where the blue not found page is)

Thanks again for your help,
Jennifer

You are seriously in need of basic HTML. This is simple to do with a table
at the most basic level of understanding - consider a two cell table with
navigation in the left cell and content in the right cell.

The truth of the matter is this - the more you know about HTML (and CSS),
the easier DW will be, and the more of these questions you will be able to
answer yourself.

Dear Murray,

I figured it out thanks. Sometimes the easiest route is the hardest to see.

Thanks for your patience.

[Murray *TMM*]

Perhaps. What was your solution?

I ended up just using tables and made my menus in flash so they refresh if I were to change them. I read articles and apparently frames aren't the way to go these days.

[Murray *TMM*]

Neither are Flash menus. Think about those who might not have Flash
installed. Think about how spiders will see the inner pages....

[snorestud]

Well then you got me. I want to use this special font and don't know of another
way that people can see it.

>Think about how spiders will see the inner pages....

Why can't spiders see the inner pages?

[Murray *TMM*]

Do you want to use the font on body text or just on header/title
information?
