Question Posted Friday April 15 2005, 9:37 pm

You told me about the iframes and the sites to go so I just gave up on the other site that I was trying to make and started a new one... [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
no matter how many tutorials I look at or how much advice I get I still can't seem to get the knack of html. I want to be able to make a site like [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) so that the layout is similar and its sort of the same site... like with quotes. I would like to know how to be able to do all this, especially so I could do it on angelfire.com and then move it to a different hosting site like [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) Any help you give me is appreciated! It might take awhile for me to catch on but I'd like if you can help :)

Oh! I think I see part of the problem.

When you use frames or iframes you need to have more than one file. That's what they're used for. If you want everything in one file, you can create a similar effect with css using "overflow: scroll"

Lets stick with frames for right now. You've gotten a lot closer with this new one. :)

You have both "<body bgcolor="#ffffff" text="#000000" link="#0000ff" alink="#800080" vlink="#ff0000">" and "<body>". Delete the second one - there should only be one body tag per document.

You have "<iframe src="newpage.html" width="400" height="400"
frameborder="0" scrolling="auto" align"right" name="myInlineFrame">
hmm trying to work on this maybe itll actually work this time!</iframe>"

"hmm trying to work on this maybe itll actually work this time!" is only supposed to show up if the person's browser doesn't know what an iframe is (if it's really old). It's a good thing that you can't see it. :)

What your supposed to see in the frame is a file called "newpage.html". I'm guessing you don't have any other files.

Lets start out by making a very simple page. Start a new page - not a new site, a new file - and call it "test.html". It should have the following html:

<html>
<head><title>Test</title></head>
<body>
<h1>Testing</h1>
</body>
</html>

Then go back to your original file (named index.html or index.htm most likely) and change "newpage.html" to "test.html".

I know I gave several steps here. If you need me to slow down, let me know.
