Click to See Complete Forum and Search --> : Remove frames, all one page
Hello, if you could provide me with some assistance I would be grateful. At my current site http://www31.brinkster.com/scfreak/ You can see the site is divided into three frames, the left, middle, and right, all divided separately
My question is, how would I remove the frames, and have the site appear in the same format as it is now, only without being divided into three sections. So i'd only have one scrollbar on the far right, and when I move the site up/down all of the text moves, but still having the links seperated on the left/right, from the main content.
I know I probably have a lot of work to do, So if anyone could give me the directions for how to do this, or any advice that could lead me into the right direction.
Thanks in advance.

You should try a CSS based layout.
Search "CSS layouts" and you'll probably be steered in the right direction.
I think I have it all set up, or at least heading towards the right direction. Check out the site now, but I have a few questions
1. In Firefox everything displays properly, however in IE and Opera the Background is missing, probably some error on my part, but i'm not sure where to fix it at this point.
2. How would I make it so the other pages come up in the same script format?
3. How can I get my scrollbar change colors again - like I had it set up in the past format, the codes don't seem to work..
4. Anyother comments/suggestions to improve the site please say.

Yeah, you need to set your background-color to transparent - in IE the background colour default is probably white.
I'll deal with the rest later if that's okay.

Your my hero. Thanks that worked. Now just those other questions when you get time. :cool:

Sorry, I sort of forgot about this. :(
2) Same script format? Oh wait I see what you mean, why not just copy your homepage over your other pages, but replace the text in the middle? If you want the same style for each page you can save your current style sheet seperately (paste it into notepad and save it with a .css extension) and load it externally using <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="yourstyle.css" />
3) Hmmm, I don't know. Try a different JavaScript or something.
4) Check your sites in the different browsers, at the bottom of your page you say that the page is best viewed in IE, but I'd say it looks better in FF. Also, validate your source (http://validator.w3.org) - its full of errors - you specify your markup as XHTML 1.0 Transitional, but it is nothing of the sort. To truly clear up the errors it will take time, but it might sort out some of your problems.

Changing the scrollbar color isn't part of the HTML or CSS specification. Specifying scrollbar colors will prevent your code from validating. At this point, I think that only Internet Explorer will allow you to do it, and be aware that the user has the ability to stop web designers from changing their scrollbar color.

Those are things i'm working on, and to tell you the truth, I got the script from a site online offering it. The XHTML 1.0 Transitional is what was already there, I honestly don't know what that is, or what to change it to.... what should it be?

and I just noticed, for whatever reason (maybe it's just me) anytime I click on a page, and then hit the back button to return to the main page, it doesn't load..

Hmmm, works for me...
The line at the top specifies the language that your site is written in. Your best bet is to use HTML 4.01, but you'll still need to tidy it up a bit more.
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
...should probably be at the top instead.
