Before you decide to use frames for your page, there are a couple of things to consider. First, not everyone has a frames capable browser so you should create a non-frames version of your page as well. Second, if your code written incorrectly, people will get stuck in your frames, it is very annoying especially if you link to another page with frames, pretty soon your entire screen is full of them. Also, people won't know where they are as your URL will still be in the location box rather than the new site they are trying to access. So remember <A href="link URL" target="_top">link name</A> target your links! Target on-site links, too. You want them going into the proper frame. Example <A href="right column" target="rightcol">Right column link</A>

To create frames you must start with 3 files. I started with frames.html, frame1.html and frame2.html. If you wish your main page to be a frame, the first one should be index.html. The first one will layout your frame sets. The second belongs in the left side column and the third is for the right hand column. You could also use row frames or nested frames.

Explanations
• Frameset cols="size in pixels for first column, * is whatever is left over." you should avoid using a set pixel size for the second column or your text may be off the page somewhere. You could also use percentages.
• name="leftcol" or "rightcol" is telling the browser where the other two files are supposed to go.
• You can use a border or not.
• Scrolling="no" stationery frame.
• Scrolling="auto" scrolling frame if necessary.
• NORESIZE, frames can't be adjusted. If you want your frames to be adjustable just leave this code off. For an example see the nested frames.
