Working with Frames...or not.

glenna1984 · 04-04-2007, 10:39 AM

I am working with Dreamweaver 8.

My temp website is at http://s198640998.onlinehome.us/bb/

When I click on Search Houses I want to open a FRAME in the yellow area on the right that automatically links ot another site.

At the moment Search Houses linkd to a new html pages with 3 frames. It does not Automatically link to the other site. If this is the way to do this...how to I clear all the frames off the screen when the user clicks on Home?

Is there an easier way?
I tried a simple top header and a server-side include, but that did not work at all.

Thanks,
Glenn

If you turn the yellow region of the main page into an IFRAME region you can do what you're talking about. Use

HTML Code:

<a href="search.html" target="yellow">

or something similar for the hyperlink on the Search Homes image.

Simple and elegant.
I did not know about iframe.
Thanks.

Glad to help! The IFRAME tag has become depreciated but is still quite useful.
