It sounds like your pages aren't created or they can't be found. Make sure the path is right and your pages exist.

Frames are evil

no kidding

any way my pages source code is just this at the moment

<HTML>

<FRAMESET COLS="50%,50%">

<FRAME SRC="PG1.HTM">
<FRAME SRC="PG2.HTM">

</FRAMESET>

</HTML>

<FRAMESET COLS="50%,50%">
<FRAME SRC="page.html" NAME="frameName">
<FRAME SRC="page.html" NAME="frameName">
</FRAMESET>

You could also use a <NOFRAMES> section:

<FRAMESET COLS="50%,50%">
<FRAME SRC="page.html" NAME="frameName">
<FRAME SRC="page.html" NAME="frameName">
<NOFRAMES>
Your browser doesn't support frames.
</NOFRAMES>
</FRAMESET>

I take it you have both a pg1.htm and a pg2.htm in the same folder as the frameset document?

Can you make sure that your filenames for the frame pages have a .html extension and not .html.txt or .txt?

If sk8dex is using the original page code the extensions need to be .htm and not .html, I did that myself already this evening!!

If you got this you must have 2 html documents in the same loaction as your frameset document called EXACTLY

PG1.HTM
and
PG2.HTM

CaSe maTTErS!!!


Anyway, here is some examplecode of how a good frameset document should look like, but check the name of the files first.

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Frameset//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/frameset.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<title></title>
</head>
<frameset cols="100, 1*" border="0"> <!-- border="0" is a bugfix for incorrect frameborder=0 support in IE, NS as well as Opera -->
<frame name="nav" src="nav.html" frameborder="0" marginwidth="1" marginheight="1" scrolling="auto">
<frame name="main" src="main.html" frameborder="0" marginwidth="1" marginheight="1" scrolling="auto">
<noframes>
<body>
<p>
Frames are not working in your Browser.<br>
You can reach the respective pages on the frames via these links<br>
<a href="nav.html">Navigation</a><br>
<a href="main.html">Main</a>
</p>
</body>
</noframes>
</frameset>
</html>
