Need Help With Frames

Hey everyone,
I need help with frames. Say I click a button/link, I want it to appear in a certain box of the template. My friend just made a template from a tutorial, and wants me to make a site for him. With some knowledge of HTML, I ended up doing mostly everything, except for the framing. Because I'm going to use a shoutcast radio, I don't want the page to refresh everytime they visit a new link, otherwise the radio will restart for them. Can someone please give me a tag so if I click a button/link, it will appear in a certain area? Thanks.

even though im one to advocate against the use of frames this is what you need to add in your url

<a href="yoururlhere.html" TARGET="_parent" >

My advice is not to use frames but instead use tables since they pretty much do the same thing except tables are easier to work with and are supported better by browsers

You can't replicate framelike behaviour using tables. The closest you can get (without using frames) is using includes which still won't prevent the page being refreshed when a new link is clicked.

It depends on what you are using for generating the html.
If you are using frontpage you can slect the target while you are creating the link.

If you make your html in a text editor linke notepad.
You have to watch in index.html what's the name of your window.

In the link you can then use that name in the parameter target.

Ex.
<HTML>
<FRAMESET ROWS="120,*">
<FRAME SRC="navi.html" NAME="navigationframe">
<FRAME SRC="start.html" NAME="mainframe">
</FRAMESET>
</HTML>

The source of the link :

<A HREF="vb-b.html" TARGET="navigationframe">Example b</A>

Advanced Html Frame Tag - Frames and Tables (3)

FRAME SYNTAX Frame syntax is similar in scope and complexity to that used by tables, and has been
designed to be quickly processed by Internet client layout engines. CODE <FRAMESET>
This is the main container for a Frame. It has 2 attributes ROWS and COLS. A frame document has
no BODY, and no tags that would normally be placed in the BODY can appear before the FRAMESET tag,
or the FRAMESET will be ignored. The FRAMESET tag has a matching end tag, and within the FRAMESET
you can only have other nested FRAMESET tags, FRAME tags, or the NOFRAMES tag. ...

Frames And Scrolling - (2)

I am wondering if it is possible to have a frameset with frames on the top, left and right of the
main content. The frames would all be non scrollable except for the 'main content' (center
frame). The problem i am having is that when the 'main content' needs to scroll, it places
the scroll bar between the 'main content' frame and the 'right frame'. I need the
scrollbar to be at the right of the 'right frame' so that the 'right frame' is not
visually apart from the 'main content' frame. Is it possible to somehow posi...

I have a link with goes: result 1 In results.php I create my frames and use 'if' queries

the page the way I want it, but I don't want a new window to open. If i put target="_self",
then the page loads in the same window, but the page 'results.php' ap...
