How can I do this?

[muratisik]

Hello,
I am new to web design and my ultimate goal is to do a site like this one:

http://www.moximedia.com:8080/imf-ows/imf.jsp?site=ms_users

I know how mapping works but I dont know about the frames, buttons and so on.

I am writing this in javascript forum because I suppose there is a heavy usage of javascript in this site.

How can I achieve this? Are there any example scripts or formats/tempelates close to this one?

Since I am newbei my questions may look silly but I really need help on this one...

Any ideas?

Have a nice day

Thank you for answering:)
I somewhat know how to create frames. What I dont know about is buttons and how they function across frames. I have found some example javascripts in which a button in one frame, when pressed, causes a string to be printed in another frame.
However I couldnot find how to get this button to play around with php variables in another frame.
I learnt that php is server-side and javascript is client-side.
I have a php page which I put together with great effort (natural for a newbei) which has buttons in it. For example one of the buttons is this one:

<INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT NAME="moveleft" VALUE="Left">

When pressed, it reloads the page and due to

if(isset($HTTP_POST_VARS["moveleft"]))

line it moves the map to left.

I am trying to do this from another frame. So the button Left will be in another frame other than the frame in which the map-php codes are in. When pressed the whole page will no reload but only the map frame and "moveleft" will be "isset".

Is there any way to do it?

Have a nice day.
