Cassieee -> Opening pages in templates (3/20/2007 14:51:24)

Hi, I am new to dreamweaver and I know this might sound very simple but I am having such trouble and I wondered if anyone would be able to help me.

I have created my frameset and it has a row along the top and a column to the left and that has worked fine and it is all saved and everything. However when I create new pages and create hyperlinks, I put the Target as 'mainframe' as this is the centre part and it is named and saved as this, but whenever I then view the site in firefox or IE, when I click on a link, it just opens up the page in a competely new window. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? I have probably missed something really simple, but if anyone can help me I will be extremely greatful as I have now been trying to sort this out for days!

Thanks so much! Cassie

Can you provide a link or is it local?



Cassieee -> RE: Opening pages in templates (3/20/2007 15:00:31)

Why are you using frames? They are problematic for people visiting the site. You can get the same effect from using includes but with less hassle all round.

This is from a site I did for a college class. Take a look at the main frames page and the menu page.

I just assumed frames were easier to use, know nothing about includes but I shall look it up!
