Hi, I am wondering how to design a web page so that the menu bar down the side uses another page. i.e. The main part would be main.htm and the menu would be menu.htm.

How do I do this?

:confused: :confused:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Your Title</HEAD>

<frameset cols ="25%, 75%">

<frame src="page1.htm" name="navbar">

<frame src="page2.htm" name="main">

</frameset>

<BODY>
</BODY>
</HTML>

also with your links in the menu you would have to use the target attribute on you links like so

<a href="somepage.html" target="main" >link!</a>
so that i t wront touch the nav bar.

Hi, I have changed the page 1 and page two both to codingforums.com but nothing happens?

Putting codingforum.coms in place of page1.htm and page2.htm will give you nothing.
