Ignorant new guy again. How do I get text in a frame?

**Shelton** · 04-24-2006, 01:48 AM

Okay,

I put my video issue on the back burner after scratching my head for an hour or so and went on to frames. I've now reached my self-imposed three hour limit on a problem before asking, so here it goes:

I have a folder into which I've put several files:

--testing1.html (attached), which contains the "frameset" and "frame" info., without "name" attributes
--left.html, which contains <html><head><body>Does this work?</body></head></html>
--ads.html, which is blank
--index1.html, which contains my main web page
--a few other files that aren't relevant

If I open the "testing1.html" page in a browser, I get three frames, with the "index1.html" page loaded in the middle one, but nothing in the left frame (I expected to see "Does this work?"), and of course, nothing in the right frame.

So how do I add text to the left and right frames? I'll be happy to post any of the other pages if necessary; just let me know.

I don't kown where are you wrong,but i can do for a example:

I make a folder first, in the folder have four files:index.html,left.html,middle.html,right.html

index.html code:
<html>
<head>
<title>My new site</title>
</head>
<frameset cols="15%,70%,15%" frameborder="no" border="0" framespacing="0">
<frame src="left.html">
<frame src="middle.html">
<frame src="right.html">
</frameset>
<noframes>
<body>
</body>
</noframes></html>

left.html code:
<html>
<head><title>The left</title></head>
<body>
This is left.html
</body>
</html>

middle.html code:
<html>
<head><title>The middle</title></head>
<body>
This is middle.html
</body>
</html>

right.html code:
<html>
<head><title>The right</title></head>
<body>
This is right.html
</body>
</html>

You can save all and open index.html look it

In this case validating your code would've saved you your self-imposed three hour limit. Try to do that next time.

Oops. Yep, that transposition of letters cost me three hours. Well, in my defense, it was late when I started working on it! Thank you all, and thank you all again! I have never heard of code validation; I'll see what I can look up on it.
