Open

[Launchnet]

I am building a website where the home page is made up of 2 frames. The control page is on the left side and is stationary. the frame on the right side is the information page and is the home page when site is opened. It works fine. I would also like to beable to have people open the site with a different information page such as: mysite.com/differentinformationpage.

When I do this, only the differentinformationpage opens.

Hope I am clear as this is my first time on this site. I am also very new to programing HTML

Thanks

Ok sounds good, wish you luck.

Welcome to HTML also, dont worry its ezy once you get used to it ^_^.

How do you change it? If you use a <a href> you have to target the correct frame.


<a href="differentinformationpage.htm" target="nameofrightframe">link text</a?

You probably shouldnt even be using frames

I guess that I didn't explain my problem sufficiently. I want to have any user open mysite.com with the left hand frame (always there, this is a menu) and the user would open mysite.com/apagename The page name would be one of the pages in the site that would open in liu of the home page that would open if only the mystie.com was opened.

Any one can see this on my site at www.openoursite.com

Here I would like to have a user do the following: www.openoursite.com/nameofanydifferentpage
The home page would not open but a diffferent page would be in the right hand frame

If I understand what you try to say is you have 2 frames
Left : your menu
right : your informations

if you want to send your link to people you must send the third page

The third page is the one you used to split your page with frames

what software are you using ?

I used Frontpage to make my frames. Review my site at www.openoursite.com

I can give a user an address such as: www.openoursite.com/hobbies

I want the left menu page to open along with the page named hobbies

I have seen this before, but the site was not in frames. Any ideas? I will truly appreciate the help.

Thanks
