Hey im trying to get out of using frames on my site,(<!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.starzRborn.com">www.starzRborn.com</a><!-- w -->) because it gives problems when it comes to refreshing. <br />
<br />
So how do i make nice menus at the side and the top?<br />
i basically just want one color that is at the left that curves into the top.<br />
<br />
something similar to this <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.castle-ed.com/">http://www.castle-ed.com/</a><!-- m --> <br />
But i dont' kno wat program or how to go about doing this.<br />
<br />
Hope you guys understand what im asking. <br />
<br />
Thanx<br />
Triz<!--content-->that site is also using frames.<br />
<br />
<br />
to get a menu on the left or top just write it there. you will need to use tables to palace it were you want.<!--content-->ya i just used that site as an example because the color flows from the left side to the top.<br />
<br />
how is this done?<!--content-->because that is a frame that goes 100% of the width of the top. it has 3 frames instead of 2<br />
<br />
1 on top<br />
1 left and 1 right<!--content-->The best way of doing this would be tables. Try to stay away from frames whenever possible.<br />
Good Luck,<br />

Well...frontpage does save you time, but make sure you check the table you drew in HTML mode before you go on!<br />
To do this you need to know the structure of the table on heart! <br />
<br />
When I use frontpage to create a table, I always remove other unnecessary codes that comes with the command of drawing a table, I think it's ok to use frontpage to draw a table, but remember DO NOT drag and drop, cut and paste in frontpage, for doing this will really mess up your page when viewing it in Netscape browser!<br />
<br />
another thing that you have to think about is what if you want to add a link to your menu, if you use table, you would have to add a same link to all of your pages! This gets annoying when you have 10+ pages in your web site!<br />
<br />
So far, I know 3 ways to solve this problem, by SSI, by PHP, and by Javascripts, these technique aren't hard to learn, you can do a search in this forum to find related information, I believe information about SSI, PHP, Javascript had already been posted in forum several times!<br />
<br />
hope this helps!:D<!--content-->
