My web site, not published yet, was created using Frames.
Seems to work okay, but I need someone to tell me the disadvantages of the
Frames.

I'm still learning!

1. When you site is indexed by search engines the links from the search
engine back to your site will load pages outside of the frameset, unless you
want to spend the time creating a dynamic frames using JavaScript.

2. Users can not easily bookmark individual pages.

3. FP navigation components do not work well with frameset, and was not
intended to be use with them.

Num 2 is easily understood.
Num 1 & 3 are unclear, especially 3.
What are examples for num 3

#1 the search engine will link to the individual page that load within the
frameset, so when user follow the link from the search engine to the page,
the page will load without the rest of the frameset, so if you have a frame
with the navigation, then the user will not see this navigation.

#3, when using the FP navigation components, you have no way to specific
which frame a specific link should open in. So if you have your navigation
frame, any link would open replacing the navigation frame.

I did a site in frames: http://dreierautosales.com a while ago. I used some
JavaScript to call the frames incase someone loaded a content page without
the frameset. it seems to work pretty well.
the nicest thing about frames (IMHO) is how quickly they load the content.
without having to reload all the surrounding graphics and navigation it's a
pretty quick page load.
there are significant downsides and I'd probably not do another frames site
unless it was for something I could guarantee wouldn't matter like an admin
panel, a private site, or similar.
HTH
OH, almost forgot the source of the JavaScript was www.echoecho.com it was
pretty easy to do and understand.

I'm reviewing this... and hope can implement it.

I don't understand why FP2003 wouldn't just automatically generate this
script when the users decides to use a Frame Set Web. I'm like you.... I
may never do another Frame type... but who knows.

Thanks for help.

I'm having some trouble so I will explain (reference
http://www.echoecho.com/jsframes02.htm)
I have these pages:
1. FrameLeftPage.htm - This is my common left side that contains all of my
menu buttons
2. FrameTopPage.htm - This is my common top page that contains the logo and
name of site.
3. HomePage.htm - This is my default page that is loaded into the Frame as
the default Page. The Welcome Page of my site.
4. Index.htm - This is the only page, that if I double click, everything
comes up normal.

Then I have a series of pages, in folders, such as : Schedule, Photo,
Coach.. ect

The writeup says to rename "myframeset.htm" to whatever my main Frame is.
Do they mean the Index.htm. If so, won't this change to Default.htm, when
it gets published?

Your frameset pages (the one that loads the frames) would need to be your home page filename required by your host (usually
index.htm or default.htm)
You would change myframeset.htm to that file name
If when you publish FP changes index.htm to default.htm then rename your local file (index.htm) to default.htm (that's the one your
server needs) and your script would use default.htm

| 3. HomePage.htm - This is my default page that is loaded into the Frame as
| the default Page. The Welcome Page of my site.
| 4. Index.htm - This is the only page, that if I double click, everything
| comes up normal.
|
| Then I have a series of pages, in folders, such as : Schedule, Photo,
| Coach.. ect
|

| Do they mean the Index.htm. If so, won't this change to Default.htm, when
| it gets published?
