should I use frames in web design?

Since you are a beginner I would recommend only tables, because CSS has got lot of cross browser issues. btw, you can alos use iframes to display webpages inside another webpage.

Frames is a way of sectioning a web page.  Not all browsers support the code for displaying content in frames, and some browsers can be configured to turn of frame support.

Here are a few generic design guides and tutorials aimed at teaching you how to lay pages out and how to optimise the page for the users best usage and enjoyment. Basically If you go to a site which claims to teach web design and the first page you see leaves you feeling lost or sick then it's best to go no further :)\n\nhttp://www.bedfordstmartins.com/markel_tutorial/\nhttp://www.webreference.com/authoring/design/tutorials.html\nhttp://www.entheosweb.com/website_design/default.asp\n\nThis one hasn't been mentioned yet and is a cracking site that gives you a lot more than HTML should you be wanting to add more to your site and make it more dynamic, each different language is seperate and easy to identify so you won't be overloaded by confusing terms if all you want is HTML\n\nhttp://www.devguru.com/\n\nthis next site gives an excelent set of tutorials for all the different aspects of HTML\n\nhttp://www.htmlcodetutorial.com/\n\nAnd lastly a few links to some goodies and extras relating to HTML\n\nhttp://www.htmlgoodies.com/\nhttp://www.w3schools.com/html/default.asp\nhttp://bignosebird.com/html.shtml\nhttp://www.tips-tricks.com/\nhttp://www.web-source.net/html_tips.htm\nhttp://www.allgraphicdesign.com/swish.html\n\nFinally you mention that you want this site to be private.  By this do you mean that it contains information that you don't want to share with anyone else on the web unless you give them access?  If so then you will need to have some form of login and password protection, to achieve this you would need to use a wed design languange like .NET or JSP to do it properly, and that will take a lot more learning, and you will also need to find a host site that supports this.\n\nBetter for you might be to search for a personal web space provider that supplies templates and photo sharing facilities that you you can customise the look and feel of, but only share with friends and family.

Template for frames:\n\n<HTML>\n<HEAD>\n<TITLE>A simple frameset document</TITLE>\n</HEAD>\n<FRAMESET cols="20%, 80%">\n  <FRAMESET rows="100, 200">\n      <FRAME src="contents_of_frame1.html">\n      <FRAME src="contents_of_frame2.gif">\n  </FRAMESET>\n  <FRAME src="contents_of_frame3.html">\n  <NOFRAMES>\n      <P>This frameset document contains:\n      <UL>\n         <LI><A href="contents_of_frame1.html">Some neat contents</A>\n         <LI><IMG src="contents_of_frame2.gif" alt="A neat image">\n         <LI><A href="contents_of_frame3.html">Some other neat contents</A>\n      </UL>\n  </NOFRAMES>\n</FRAMESET>\n</HTML>

Hi Jen,\n\nFrontpage is a really good program to use if you are a novice. You will still be able to use Frontpage to design your site, the difference will be that you may not be able to use the frontpage functionality to upload your site, depending on who you use to host your website. I would say that if you use Yahoo to host your site you won't be able to use Frontpage to upload. There are other programs out there that you can use to do the same thing after you have designed your site in Frontpage.

I wont be able to know this answer unless I see your framework. Make sure you called the correct frame. Just because you named it a certain way, doesnt mean you can just use the name and it will end up on the right frame. \n\nYou need to know which frame position it is in because once you create a framed website, they are all referenced like an array.\n \nExample:\ndocument.frames[0].location would reference the parent frame.\n\nCheck out this tutorial:\nhttp://www.htmlcodetutorial.com/frames/frames_famsupp_11.html\n\nIt will give a better explanation.

Well to be honest, it sux. But as a beginer thats OKAY. In fact GOOD JOB. But u gotta improve. Always give a pretty attracting background image, it will look better and use some buttons rather text. Use dreamwaver,, its the best web designing software.\n\nNeo

I use notepad for all my webdesigning needs. Of course, I also need Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox to do a quick check for errors, but it's best to know all the code that goes into each webpage.

As a general rule, professional web designers frown at and avoid using frames.

I recently was approached by a friend of a friend to produce them a modelling website.  I said yes.\n\nWhat i didn't tell them was i had never done a web-page before!!  Well I downloaded a program called coffeecup that gives you fairly clean code (compared to Frontpage), and used its visual editor to start.  I then looked at the code it had produced to see what was going on.  After also looking up different HTML tags and how to do tables and such, it was much easier and i was now able to write HTML without using the visual editor.\n\nI then had to tackle PHP to do a few bits.  I used these websites to get what i wanted.\n\nhttp://www.faqts.com/knowledge_base/index.phtml/fid/51\nhttp://www.zend.com/php/index.php\nhttp://www.devtek.org/tutorials/image_gallery.php\nhttp://www.webdeveloper.com/\n\nAnyway i went from knowing nothing to producing a website, with changing images, a web based contact form and a shopping cart (short list) in about 2 weeks of on and off looking at it after work.\n\nIt is more than possible to learn to do web design in short amounts of time.  Obviously for more complex features it just takes longer, but i have found all information available on the web that i need.  Certainly no need for a 10,000 course.  Also simply look at the source for websites to see what others are doing.\n\nGet a project to work on, research the web and do it!\n\nGood luck and enjoy.\n\nFor my small triumph, visit http://www.seenmodels.com

You need frameset of two horizontal frames. Top frame will contain your graphics and bottom one will link to your scrolling page. To learn more about HTML elements, go to W3C

Tough question :)\n\nBest ideea (on my humble oppinion) is to avoid both horizontal and vertical scrolling. For horizontal is simple. Set the layout to a max of 770 pixels.\nIf you don't want vertical scrolling... it depends on viewer browser, how many extra toolbars he has, etc.\nTypically for 800x600 resolution a 430 pixel heigth will do the trick.\n\nAs 800x600 is (still) used only by approx 30% of users you should think how your layout will look also at higher resolutions.\nAt 1024x768 it will still look ok. Higher than this it will be like a column in the middle of the page or on the left side, deppending on your choice of content positioning.\n\nTry a self-adjusting approach. Use as much as possible CSS, avoid tables, keep content centered (both horizontal and vertical).\n\nSome nice browser statistics here:\nhttp://roselli.org/adrian/articles/browser_stats_2.asp\n\nCSS layouts here:\nhttp://blog.html.it/layoutgala/\n\nGood luck and let me know when your site is online!

I used W3Schools also. Their examples are very easy to use. Make sure to view the source code whenever you see a site you like the look of online, and take a look at the CSS file too. You'll learn more just by looking at other sites, and then practice on your own trying to figure out how to get different looks. Of course, if you have any specific questions, you can always ask us here on Yahoo! Answers.

I think it's best that you "hand" code it in notepad because MSFontPage and other WYSIWYG (What you see is what you get) editors insert a lot of unnecessary lines of code that slows down the loading time. A good place to start learing is lissaexplains.com . For graphics you could use GIMP which is free (Google or Yahoo it), if you think you're serious about making a good website and have money then you might want to consider buying and learning Photoshop ($600). Tutorials for GIMP and Photoshop can be found at pixel2life.com . A good webhost is pretty hard to find but you could always start with GeoCities (ad supported).
