PLEASE TELL HOW TO DO THAT!!! I don't want to use a frames THANKS

If you don't want to use frames (and you shouldn't), then you're going to have to use a scripting solution to do what you want.

for what you're wanting to do all you need to do is use the same menu bar on each page. (If I understand correctly) this is a very basic way to do it if you're new to html if you would prefer to do it with CSS you could do it that way too.

HTML Code:

<html>
<body>
<table>
  <tr>
     <td bgcolor="blue"> 
        <a href="http://www.google.com"> Google </a> <br>
        <a href="http://www.yahoo.com"> Yahoo </a> <br>
        <a href="http://www.dogpile.com"> dogpile </a> <br>
      </td>
      <td> 
         here is where you put the body of the webpage 
      </td>
    </tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

like I said though this method is going to be really kinda sloppy and I doubt you'll be happy with the result but if you really want a navigation bar you should tackle a bit of CSS and it will help out alot.

What i am trying to say is that i want is to build a navigation menu like if i have frames but without them

Why ? What is the reasoning behind it ?

**Dark WaRRioR** · 11-16-2006, 02:19 PM

the reason is that with this kind of structure it will be much easier to watch the site

HTML Code:

.navbar {
  width: 15%;
  bgcolor: blue;
  left: 0px;
}
 
.content {
  width: 85%;
  margin-left: 15%;
  padding: .5em;
}
 
 
<div class="navbar">
 <a href="./aboutme.htm"> About Me </a><br>
 <a href="./home.htm"> Home </a><br>
etc etc...
</div>
 
<div class="content">
  Everything for the right area here
</div>
