FOAK basic html problem

I'm trying to create a basic webpage and run across a snag right away on my
new purple cloud space. I've deleted the arrows around the tags for
clarity.

This seems to be fine in Word but when I upload it I get nothing except for
an unspecified error in IE and nothing at all in Opera. Any ideas?

HTML
title Home /title
BODY

FRAMESET
FRAMESET COLS="50%, 50%"

FRAME NAME="A" SRC="headline.html"

FRAMESET ROWS="50%, 50%"
FRAME NAME="B" SRC="linkpage.html"
FRAME NAME="C" SRC="content.html"
/FRAMESET

/BODY

/HTML

 

Posting a url would be good.

However, do yourself a favour and get rid of the frames - they are a pain
and imo it's easier to get it all on one page. Word produces incredibly
messy code - get hold of another wysiwyg html editor - there are several
flavours out there from free to reassuringly expensive which will produce
what you want

Then take a visit to www.w3.org and use their html validator - be prepared
for some head scratching but it's worth it.

 

I wasn't clear: I'm writing it in notepad, I just happened to run it through
Word to see if it worked. but thanks for the url.

I was using frames so I could have a nice menu thing down the side.

 

Frames are shite. You need to do more work with the mouse and it pages
the page look shit as well.

HTH

 

And one more thing. It also *makes* the page look shit

 

^^^^^^^
And here

There is no BODY tag in frameset pages.

It's also missing the HEAD, DOCTYPE & META tags for completeness.

Little steps! I don't even know what they are yet. Thanks for that, big
help.

For an encore, and if you can spare the time, can you give me a clue how to
put mutiple rollovers in? This doesn't work, it does with only one set
though.

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!-- hide from none JavaScript Browsers


Image1= new Image
Image1.src = "picture_library/bike1.jpg"
Image2 = new Image
Image2.src = "picture_library/bike2.jpg"
Image3= new Image
Image3.src = "picture_library/bike3.jpg"
Image4 = new Image
Image4.src = "picture_library/bike4.jpg"

function SwapOut() {
document.imageflip.src = Image2.src; return true;
}

function SwapBack() {
document.imageflip.src = Image1.src; return true;
}

function SwapOut() {
document.imageflip.src = Image3.src; return true;
}

function SwapBack() {
document.imageflip.src = Image4.src; return true;
}
// - stop hiding -->
</SCRIPT>

I've been using http://www.htmlgoodies.com as a resource but it doesn't
explain mutiple rollovers too well. And I'm thick.

 

Thanks a lot.

 

the page look shit as well.

Nonsense, look at www.brainbashers.com (my own creation), looks fine with
frames. Without frames would be far more difficult, particularly the way the
answers are displayed (in www.brainbashers.com?ZCIK).

 

Is it hosted on a ZX81?

It's mighty slow but granted, this page looks ok.

This one doesn't however. IANAWM, but there must be a way to show "the
answers" in another way?

I know I'm only one person out of possibly billions that use the
internet but frames, like and similar to the one on your answers page is
a real turn off.

 

You need broadband mate!

 

I've got broadband. Unless you're talking about 1MB and faster.

The one thing against www.ukspeedtraps.co.uk is the frames. A menu along
the top would be much neater and easier to navigate.

 

Why?

 

Because it looks untidy and is difficult to navigate.

 

To me it doesn't look unlike any other menu system. I simply want a menu
down the side that doesn't update every time you open a new page. Seems
ideal for that.

 

Doesn't update?

How much content do you want to put in there?

 

Use Dreamweaver. I'm sure you can afford it.

 

I mean I don't want that effect where you hit a link and the whole thing
goes to another page with the same menu built in to make it look like
frames. I really don't have a problem with frames.

 

'Course, no problem. Just catch me when I'm sober.

I'm a bit pissed after opening a wine box so go to the following page

http://www.ghpkendal.co.uk/Menu.htm

It'll detect that it's not running in a frame and ask you to either go
back to the main page (OK) or carry on as-is (CANCEL)

If you click on CANCEL it'll make it easier to view the page source code.
Help yourself, it's what I did with other pages.

Oh, and http://www.w3schools.com is a God-send.

 

Bugger. Forgot I'd changed the roll-over to a stylesheet effect rather
than an image-swap effect. I can't access the original until I go to work
on Monday and the ground is wobbling dangerously so to bed I go.
