Frames

I need Help!!

This is my very first time learning about HTML on my own. I hope somebody out there can Help me.

My question is:

WHY CAN'T I VIEW MY PAGE WITH FRAMES ON PREVIEW WINDOW?

I noticed that this only happens when I use frames. It does not happen when I use a plain background.

Please helpe me.

There is no comparicon with Frames and a plain background. Unless you mean non-frames, or a single window.

Frames are made up of more than one page or windows. Let's use two pages, separately we'ii them Contents.html and Data.html, in a frame setup the Contents page is the left frame, the Data page is the right frame. Both frames together make a single page called Index.html. This is the page you see when you call index.html To see the other pages, in preview, you must call either "contents.html" or "data.heml".

If this isn't the answer to your question, post it more clearly.

What I meant to say was that I can't see my index.html page on my web browser preview.

I think I may be "browswerly handicapped" because these are the tabs that I see at the bottom of my page:

NORMAL, NO FRAMES, HTML, FRAMES PAGE HTML AND PREVIEW.

Thanks for you help :)

Please post the name of the frame page. Is it index? and the two pages that are in the frames. Are they contents or menu, and what is the other. I need to know that. When I get that answer I can explain things better for ou to understand. I like your code name, and hope that you will be ...

Hi Dave,

I am a novice at this. Can you tell.

Yes those are the tabs for FrontPage. What can you tell me about this?
