Html - Link to another frame?

[TunaBoo]

Ok my page has 2 frames, called Menu (on left) and main (on right). I want to be able to click a link on the Menu frame and have it open a certain page in the Main window. I can do this with javascript, but then it messes with my CSS. I need to do this with plain old HTML.

Also, no matter what I do there is like a 30 pixle gap between my 2 frames, any way to get rid of this? Using Dreamweaver 4

I thought target="Main" would work, but it opens everything in a NEW pop up window. Blah, how do I get it to open in the frame called Main

I'm assuming that you are talking about the page in your sig.

According to your index.html, the names of your frames are leftFrame and mainFrame

<frame name=&quot;leftFrame&quot; scrolling=&quot;NO&quot; noresize src=&quot;Menu.htm&quot;>
<frame name=&quot;mainFrame&quot; src=&quot;Main.htm&quot;>

just change the target to mainFrame and you will be in business.

That's what you get for trying to use a WYSIWYG editor. 😉

Dont even know what WSYIWYG stands for...


I totally hate frames also, unless they are well used. I consider mine well used, and they make site navigation much easier.

I keep an IE window open and refresh a lot so it turns out fine 😉

I think its less of a WYSIWYG editor than frontpage. I have the code open as I work on it 100% of the time, which can be hard with frontpage.

Dreamweaver is the only WYSIWYG editor that I'd ever use. I personally prefer notepad, but if there is something that I need done quick that i know will be small, I'll use Dreamweaver.

The problem with all WYSIWYG editors is that they put SO much useless code into the HTML file. I mean, do I really need to declare the font at EVERY row and column? Its rediculous...

Trust me, learn the code yourself, and use something like notepad/wordpad. Not only will you save yourself horrid code when you need to edit it, but precious bandwidth as well.

 

[konichiwa]

Exactly. The only thing that I like about Dreamweaver is how well it does complicated tables and layers, as well as the flash/fireworks integration. Besides that, notepad is for me! 😎

 

[TunaBoo]

Yah I dont need flash/fireworks integration.

But for how simple my sites are, its not a big deal. My biggest html page is like 5kb. Big whoopie.

Ughh.. I'm going through that right now in my project where I have to sift through countless pages of DreamWeaver generated HTML pages to add functionality to them... Blech.... Making my eyes bleed.
