Problems with Frames

**brian216** · 06-13-2007, 01:41 PM

Hi everyone, I'm very new here. I have some problems geting frames to work for me. I can get the menu side and the main frame side to work at times but have problems getting them working together. I also have trouble getting background colors in either one to work, the color usually will only work in one side not both. Overall frames have not been my area of expertise but I want to finally figure out how to get them to work. Any and all help is appreciated. Thanks a bunch.

Welcome to AHFB!

Do you have a particular piece of code you're having problems with? If so, post it here, together with an explanation of what you want the code to do. That way, we can better help you. Thanks.

Here is a code that I copied from a website tutorial. Both frames show up in my document but I can never figure out how to get a background color to work on either part of the page. On the tutorial the links show up fine and they also have color but when I try itm only the frames show up. No links, no color, nothing. I hope this helps a bit as far as explaining what I want to do. I have a degree in Web development but this has always been a problem area for me. Thanks again. Brian

Can you post the url, just be sure to uncheck the box that says "Automatically parse links in text".

I appreciate all the help being offered and for any hints to help me understand frames better. I guess the main problem is for a navigation menus, frames, etc. I've copied and pasted the codes in the tutorials just to see if they work for me but only the two frames ( the navigation side and the main menu side) show up.
