i cant remeber how to do it
i want the top frame to be the navigation and the bottom to be the content and the links change the bottom frame

Code:
<frameset rows="175, *" border=0>

<frame name="menu" src="menu.html">
    <frame name="content" src="main.html">
    <noframes><body>
        <!-- Alternative non-framed version -->
		Your browser does not support frames. Please switch to one that does<br>
		<a href="www.getfirefox.com"><img src="./images/firefox.gif"</a>
    </body></noframes>

</frameset>
Code:
<a target="content" href="about.html"

I've been designing websites for a good 11 years now. In that time, I have used frames maybe once; and not even out of necessity.

The problems with frames is a cross-compatibility issue. Different browers like render frames different ways. Since we all don't use Internet Explorer, it's pretty pointless to design a site with frames for every brower.

My advice to you, is to design the site with tables. Your site will be more compatible with different browers and more efficient (IMO).

frames = :exnbp:

I agree with Mike, and if you have to, use div tags for areas that you want to display certain information in a contained environment.

or, if you want easy pages that can be modified in parts, use an iframe in your table cell....
