of forms and frames

[nimexx]

ok Im not sure this is possible but what I would like is to build a webpage that allows me to categorize pictures. Im thinking a frame on the left with checkboxes or dropdowns for the categories and a frame on the right for multiple pictures and a checkbox for each. Ideally you mark the pictures you went to set and then choose the categories on the left hand side and hit submit. It would need to submit the IDs for all the pictures you had checked and the categories you checked.

As far as I know this would involve a form on each frame but I dont know how to submit them all together. Im assuming you cant span a form across frames and if its all on the same page without frames, the left hand side wouldnt stay visible when you scrolled down. Would this be something I could do with Java script, is there any easier or better way to do it?

any help is appreciated, thanks

i had a similar problem and used two layers, one on the left and one main. You then select the content of the main layer to scroll and this gives the apperance of frames when in reality it is the same page

That sounds like it might work but I have no idea how to do layers. Im trying to avoid using java script and I cant find and simple examples of 2 layers that would look similar to 2 frames. Can anyone give me an example or point me in the right direction?

Thanks

try this. if you put content in the main frame hen it will scroll and leave the left one looking stationary
