Basically, for the site I'm working on, I think I may have gotten myself in over my head. Granted, I'm new to web design, so to others this may not be complex, so rather than harrass others into checking my work, is there any way I can see a rather complex frameset ( for a beginner:rolleyes: ) so that I can try and find my errors.

Thank you for any help,

Select.

Here are a couple of links you might want to take a look at:

http://hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey/authoring/frames/

http://www.xs4all.nl/~ppk/js/index.html?frameintro.html

If you still have trouble post the code you're working with and we'll help you out. Good luck ;).

i hate to ask simple questions, but here goes.
..Page has 5 rows, 2 of which have different columns.

The first row has 3 frames: 53x569, 53x164, 53x293
second row and third row are 92 and 140 respectively.
The fourth row has 5 frames:
238x108 , 238x96 , 238x104 , 238x427 , 238x293
and the fifth row is 248

I think my error is in where I am placing </frameset> and
Just basically laying out the code..

I have looked through those webmonkey tutorials (I <3 webmonkey), but as much as I feel I understand when I am
done, this doesnt seem to work out. Your other link seemed
to go over my head.:(

I appreciate the help.

Well I know they're not really complex, but I thought it would give Select a good reference to check his/her code against. Complex is a relative term, for a newbie any frame may be complex and since I didn't know what code we were dealing with I decided to start with something simple, against the request for complex...lol. Besides, I had to leave you room for a shameless plug :D (j/k).

At any rate, since we're into the coding phase now, I'll move this over to the HTML & CSS forum for continuance.

Worth a look: http://www.w3.org/TR/html40/present/frames.html

thanks for moving it for me:)
so here's my idea of what should work. When put into
practice (with real files;) ) it doesn't seem to work. Any help
is appreciated.

It looks good except for an extra </frameset> in the middle section. Try this...

<frameset rows="53,92,140,238,248" border="0">

<frameset cols="569,164,293" border="0">
<frame src="A.html" name="A" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" noresize scrolling="no">
<frame src="B.html" name="B" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" noresize scrolling="no">
<frame src="C.html" name="C" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" noresize scrolling="no">
</frameset>

<frame src="D.html" name="D" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" noresize scrolling="no">

<frame src="E.html" name="E" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" noresize scrolling="no">

<frameset cols="108,96,104,427,293" border="0">
<frame src="F.html" name="F" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" noresize scrolling="no">
<frame src="G.html" name="G" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" noresize scrolling="no">
<frame src="G.html" name="G" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" noresize scrolling="no">
<frame src="H.html" name="H" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" noresize scrolling="auto">
<frame src="I.html" name="I" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" noresize scrolling="no">
</frameset>

<frame src="J.html" name="J" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" noresize scrolling="no">

</frameset>
