DW newbie

I am experimenting with DW and frame. I have created a frame for navigation and my own content. I have a third frame that will link to an external site (e.g., www.cnn.com, etc.) How do I link in the extenrla site?

Thanks

Marco_van_den_Oever,

Actually I am trying to create a simple webpage with two frames that will be in the same HTML file. I am using DW to test and it creates framesets in different files. I need to know how to consolidate them into one file.

Ok, then the answer of cyberwebservice allready helped you out i think cause that's the way to consolidate different frames into one file, ok thx for noticing:) If you still have any questions let me know

One last question. If I create a "main" webpage with one frame, does the frame have to be contained in a seperate file? When I look at webpages with frames, they use seperate files.

Websites with frames (so not iframes) use a frameset that points to the different frames, then each different frame has a refer to a page, so every frame gets it's content from a seperated file.

If you use iframes instead, then you also need a seperated file like yourpage.html in the following example:

<IFRAME SRC="yourpage.html" WIDTH=350 HEIGHT=250 FRAMEBORDER=1 SCROLLING=auto></IFRAME>

So if you use these methods, then you need seperated files.

Can be very confusing framesets/frames inframes, but it's easier then it seems to be

If you got any question, just ask:)
