I've been using the Front Page Editor for some time now.
Previously, I used Front Page Express. Now I want to
expand into the frames arena, but don't have Front Page
setup... how can I start using frames with just the
editor? I try to use the Frames Wizard, but get all this
Front Page Web stuff in error; which is appropriate
because I didn't set any of it up. What can I do and how
is it done? Thanx!
 
Why do you want to use frames?
IMO they are way more trouble than they are worth.

I completely disagree. A site can take significant advantage
of framing to maximize the organization of the files. IMO, it's most
unfortunate that frames have a bad rep. When combined with stylesheets
they can really speed up the loading of a site by minimizing
redundancy.

how do you handle bookmarking and goofy backpaging?
not to mention search engines?

Thanx for the lively discussion on the pros and cons of
frames, but how does that answer the question and help a
poor dummy like me? ;-)

If you are using FP98, then you must open a web first via FPExplorer, then you can open FPEditor.
They were not meant to be use individually.

So, if I understand correctly, if I set it up right, I
guess it would be working correctly. Uninstall, reinstall?

BTW, I have my "site" on my machine, but I then FTP it to
my AOL member account space.

If you use FP98 correctly, which is that you use FPExplorer to open the web via http://localhost
(FP98 was designed to be used with a web server), then use FPEditor to create on open existing page,
etc.
