hello im just trying to do a new version of my site, but im using frames this time... however all im getting is a white screen... i save the frameset as the index, and all the frames within should load when the index loads correct? im probably wrong... can anyone help me? |

drop frames - frames are the devil, they fuck everything up. you end up coding like a bitch in heat to get everything right |

ive spent way too long on this too just start over :( and im really happy with the design, and the coding is already done... |

Frames can be useful if you can code it right. Unfortunately i have forgot all the coding tricks i used to know. But stick with it! |

ok listen - the whole document with all frames included, is your index-file. if you have a frame on the right of your screen, you've basically got the grand total of three separate pages; the right frame, named right_frame.html (or whatever filename you use), you've got the left frame, or mainframe.html, as I used to call it - then you have the whole page with both frames included, which should be named index.html give your frames logical names; a frame on the right should be named frame_right.html - this gives you a better overview of things. I agree with virginpusher - frames CAN be good, if coded properly, but they are equally shitty when badly coded.. |

things are working I see :) your bacground-image is to small for my resolution though, so it gets chopped up along the screen |

ah thanks... how can i fix the background thing? stratch to fit?? also when i load the discography frame, im not getting a scroll bar on the side which i find strange... |
||||||||
|

I saw the scrollbar-thingy - it's not there, so you need to set this in your html. it goes something like scrollbars="yes", i don't quite remember. you could stretch the image, but that would pixelize it, and make it slightly lower quality - just experiment a little :) |

hmm im learning html in school but i dunno |
||||||||

The left frame can't be seen in 800x600 - it's knocked off the page. Perhaps you should give an actual pixel value for the left side (rather than an asterisk) and have the far-right frame be an asterisk (because it doesn't matter if that gets cut off a bit). |

srç="http://www.sunderedweb.com/~xanpha/blank.html"><frame name="rightFrame" scrolling="NO" noresize m>
you've got scrolling set to "no" here... set it to "yes"... and, what's the problem with the background exactly? |
||||||||
|

|
oh thanks a lot guys, i hadnt noticed those things... hmm what a pain! i wont be updating in a hurry after this :) the background image is too small for the frame when its viewed hi resolution screens... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
o i c... hmm... you could give both the left frame and the rightmost frame a set pixel value equal to the width of your background images, and then only allow your center black frame to resize with the browser. |
||||||||
|

|
|
right... ok... this is all within the code right? ill get too it after ive had a sleep :) thanks very much for the help too! :) |
||||||||
|

|
|
yeah, you should be able to set it all up in the HTML of your frameset. a pretty good |

You'll always get problems with background images and people using 'unhelpful' screen resolutions, such is life. You're not forced to try and cater for everyone though. If you were running, say, a business site in which having everything display right for the maximum number of people was crucial, then you couldn't use a layout like you have there. However, this is a personal site so there's no need to be fussed about catering for everyone. Pick the most common couple of resolutions and design for them, fuck everyone else. |
