help with frames

[peter]

Tutorials on frames I found only talks about how to create the initial
frames. Once I created the initial pages, I don't know what to do next.

Is there a tutorial that talks about how set up a two frame web page
(content on the left containing a list of topics, main on the right) so that
clicking a topic on the left frame would cause a new page to be loaded in
the right frame?

When you create the initial frameset set the target of the left frame to be the right frame name
- by default the FP template for a 2 frame page does that

I'm sure there are - but do you really need frames? It's not difficult to
design non-frame pages with the exact effect you describe above. Frames have
many drawbacks, not the least of which is that they're a real pain to work
with.

i've noticed that a lot of people describe frames as being difficult to work
with and should be avoided like they are something evil. i created and have
maintained a website for the past 5 years using frames and i don't find them
to be any trouble at all. i know that search engines don't always find the
frameset page, but for my site, i created it primarily for a select group of
people, namely my high school class, so it really doesn't bother me that a
search engine will not find it.

while frames may not be for everyone, i think they do have a place in
website design and if they fit your needs, there is really no good reason not
to use them.

you can see my site at : www.phs65.com

Doing that site without frames would be a simple task, and you wouldn't have
that unsightly scrollbar.

Maintaining one hobby web site using frames might not be a big deal for you,
but I can guarantee you that they are considerably more complicated and more
trouble than non-frame sites. And the main point is, they're completely
unnecessary in almost all cases.
