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

there are three frames by the looks of it, what you not sure of how to create the frames, what button are you after(ie thier function)?

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.
