Ok, I got the main page to work but I can't get the pages to change when I click on the link (judges for example) it just opens to a new page? I have the link set a "_main" but it'n not working...

Any ideas??? Anyone??????? :confused:

Never mind.. I got it! Thanks for all the help! lol :rolleyes:

Be careful with those. Not all browser support frames equally, and if you're not very skilled with frames you can end up trapping visitors in single frames that load full page.

I agree with Reli4nt.
Frames can cause problems.
With the invent of CSS and div's 8 or so years ago they're obsolete anyway.
Just give your div a height and overflow:auto; to simulate a frame.

Go at http://www.denham.us and look at the scrollable area to the left. That is not a frame but a <div> that has those properties set. It's purly done with CSS and also makes it much more search engine friendly.

oh, I got cha... Isn't that still another frame tho?

where would I learn how to do that??

No, it's not frames - look at the code.
Just give your div a set height and overflow:auto;. When there isn't enough inside the div to overflow the height it will look like a normal div but as soon as there is more content then the div will hold, the scrollbar appears.
