I'm new to HTML and I can't figure out frames. I've read all the tutorials and I still just can't get 'em to work on my site. Can anybody help me out?
Example: This is what I type, but the page is still blank.
<html>
<head>
<title>Nick's Page</title>
</head>
<frameset rows="50,*">
<framename="default" src="default.htm">
<framename="navigation" src="navigation.htm">
</frameset>
</html>

Well, for starters you need a space in the frame tag:
<frame name="default" src="default.htm">
Additionally, I'd put some kind of path on the file, just to make it explicit. If your default.htm file is in the same directory, it would look like:
<frame name="default" src="./default.htm">
<frame name="default" src="default.htm">
Additionally, I'd put some kind of path on the file, just to make it explicit. If your default.htm file is in the same directory, it would look like:
<frame name="default" src="./default.htm">
<meta name="cxwq" content="mostly water">

Oh great, now I really feel like a fucking retard.Well, for starters you need a space in the frame tag:
<frame name="default" src="default.htm">

<frame name="default" src="./default.htm">
All I need was a damn space.

Let me tell you how to use frames....don't. It's one way to make your page look really amaturish. I've used them from time to time, and I've found that the resolution from machine to machine differs enough that even the slightest tweek could destroy any form of order your site once had. I perfer to use invisible tables myself, you get the same level of organization, while still allowing all of your content to be on one page making it easier to update. This is just my personal opinion, I've never had luck with frames and they just seem very spotty.

You can say that again. I decided to make a page, but since my home directory didn't get cluttered, I made a directory called "Reviews". So, when I put my link up on my "Reviews" page, I labeled it...even the slightest tweek could destroy any form of order your site once had.

<a href="home\reviews\at2000.htm">Airtech 2000</a>
So, it worked, and I thought, "Great!, this is easier than I thought!". So, I decided to do a review on the AT4k. I did the same thing...
<br><a href="home\reviews\at4000.htm">Airtech 4000</a>
So, I tried it, and now it's all screwed up. Now none of the reviews work. *sigh*
I don't get it.

Man it's been too long since I hard coded a website, I'm friggin rusty as hell. Now if you have any questions about high level programing, I probably have you covered there.

Yeah, it's pretty rough, I got it all worked out now. I'm going to experiment with frames until I get better at this HTML stuff.
