I'm an amateur web designer and am having a problem with my new website. It currently is formatted the way I want it using frames. I just found out that web crawlers and spiders don't read frames very well if at all. Is there a way to have a list (from top to bottom) on the left of clickable links and have the body of the page alligned center or to the right? I'm not knowledgeable in Java or anything other than HTML. I don't use a web publisher either, but I did try to mess with MS Frontpage without success. Any ideas? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please reply here or e-mail me directly at <!-- e --><a href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a><!-- e -->. Thanks.<!--content-->Good. Don't use FrontPage. It's a mess. Good idea to get rid of the frames too.

If you want to do it with only HTML, tables would be your best option.<!--content-->From <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/tables.html#h-11.1">http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/tables.html#h-11.1</a><!-- m -->: />
Tables should not be used purely as a means to layout document content as this may present problems when rendering to non-visual media. Additionally, when used with graphics, these tables may force users to scroll horizontally to view a table designed on a system with a larger display. To minimize these problems, authors should use style sheets to control layout rather than tables.<!--content-->Thanks for the replies meow and Charles. Do you know of a CSS or table library that might have something pre-formatted that I could tinker with? I've messed with tables a little, but don't know how to get the desired effect.
