I think I must of overlooked something, all my files relating to my web page are on a floppy disk. They are all saved as Html.<br />
Please Please as anyone any ideas I only have another week left to finish this assignment, so any help would be appreciated<br />
Dumb blonde<!--content-->Hi!<br />
<br />
A quite uncommon way to deal with html files. You would better copy them to your harddisk. Anyway, try to put 'file:///a:/' (if it is drive a) in front of your filenames. You might also face problems because of the spaces in the filenames. If so, rename your files and modify your code accordingly.<br />
<br />
If the files are in a subfolder of the floppy's root directory, don't forget to put that into your frames' srcs as well.<br />
<br />
Good luck - Pit<!--content-->thanks hun, I was told at college to store all my files on to a floppy, I will try and do as you suggested, and see if I get any further<!--content-->Read, and continue to read until it makes sense, <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/present/frames.html">http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/present/frames.html</a><!-- m -->. src=http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/"guide to carboot sales.html" NAME="guide to carboot sales"><br />

Page names should NEVER have imbedded spaces. If they do, they must be encoded.<br />

I have read so many help files that my head feels like it may burst. I am not normally this thick, just got my first I.T Telematics exam done today so I might be able to concentrate a bit more.<br />
So if anyone can help I would be very grateful<!--content-->Hi!<br />
<br />
It seems you didn't read my pm which I sent in reply to yours yesterday. The information I gave you there should help.<br />
<br />
Regards - Pit<!--content-->Sorry about that I have only just read it, had to revise last night for my exam this morning.<br />
I have done all you said, I have even moved the files now from floppy to My documents. I am using win M.E and can only use windows notepad to create my webpage. <br />
I have viewed what I have done, when it opens up I get a web browser, divided by the frameset, but not my documents. I have done a practice one and that worked, I have copied the code but just changed the names of the docs which doesn't work.<br />
Oh dear I am afraid I am running out of time with this assignment, can You help pretty please<!--content-->Hi!I have viewed what I have done, when it opens up I get a web browser, divided by the frameset, but not my documents.If that is the case, the frameset document and the files to be displayed in the frames are not in the same folder, but according to your code, they ALL have to be in the same folder.<br />
<br />
Cheers - Pit<!--content-->here's what I have done. created a folder in My docs called it Practice1, inside that there are two sub folders named menu(to appear on the left side of screen)and main (to appear on the right). In each of these are the docs I need to appear as appropriate. Then I have my frameset doc.<br />
So when I view my file in explorer named frameset all I get is the frameset and no docs<br />
Can send you my docs if you want<br />
Thanks <br />
dyzee<!--content-->Hi!<br />
<br />
Please - no subfolders!<br />
<br />
ALL THE FILES HAVE TO BE IN ONE AND THE SAME FOLDER.<br />
<br />
Cheers - Pit<!--content-->I have now moved my docs into the same folder they are altogether, I have deleted the sub folders, and it still don't work<!--content-->Hi!<br />
<br />
Well, I only see one chance to help. Create a zip with all the files, including the frameset and post it as an attachment.<br />
<br />
Cheers - Pit<!--content-->thanks hun<br />
your a star<!--content-->Hi!<br />
<br />
OOOPS!<br />
<br />
Your frameset's frames<br />
<frame name="menu" src=http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/"menu.html"><br />
<frame name="main" src=http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/"main.html"><br />
<br />
The files, you sent apart from the frameset document and the image are:<br />
CARBOOTERSHEAVE1HOME.htm<br />
pageone.htm<br />
pagetwo.htm<br />
venues.htm<br />
<br />
Can you see, why it doesn't work??<br />
<br />
In your frameset, you obviously have to put the correct filenames as the frames' srcs. Example: if you want CARBOOTERSHEAVE1HOME.htm to appear in the top frame, this should read like that:<br />
<frame name="menu" src=http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/"CARBOOTERSHEAVE1HOME.htm"><br />
<br />
Hope, that helps.<br />
<br />
Good luck - Pit<!--content-->I have changed it but it hasn't made a difference, does it display on yours ok?<!--content-->Hi!<br />
<br />
It cannot display at all. If you tell me, which of the four files you want to be shown in which of the two frames, I could tell you, but I guess, you want to display more than two files, so you also would need more than two frames.<br />
<br />
Regards - Pit<!--content-->left hand side needs to be links, so when clicked on all those files will open up in a separate window, apart from the carbootheavenhome one which needs to be the first page I see besides the links. I wish they would just let me use dreamweaver instead of all this messin about<br />
Does that make any sense to you<br />
Thanks<br />
dyzee<!--content-->Hi!<br />
<br />
I guess, the links are in menu.html, but you don't have a file like that. Try to find it on your floppy or your harddisk, post the code here and I will check it, if you want.<br />
<br />
Cheers - Pit<!--content-->heres the missing doc<!--content-->Hi!<br />
<br />
You will still have a problem with your images, when using the files in the attachment. Unzip all files to ONE folder and open the frameset.html...<br />
<br />
Cheers - Pit<!--content-->thanks very much, <br />
sending you private message<br />

The page is a 'frameset', yet you have the 'body' tags outside the 'noframes' tags. A frameset page does not have a body, instead, it uses the bodies of the framed pages. The only place that body tags can exist in a frameset is INSIDE a 'noframes' tagset. Try this:<br />
<br />
<noframes><br />
<body><br />

That is how is should be. :)<!--content-->
