Simple Frames Question

Before you make any comments, "i am new to html/java and all this" so how can i add a frame to the top and to the left and how do i tell all the pages to do stuff

There's two ways you can have top and left frames:

Code:

---


-----------------
|  |________|
|  |                |
|  |                |
------------------

or

-----------------
|__________|
|  |                |
|  |                |
------------------

(I know these loop messed up, please forgive me)

This is how you'd get the first one:

Code:

---

<frameset  cols="20%,*">
    <frame name="right" src="right.html" marginwidth="10" marginheight="10" scrolling="auto" frameborder="0">
    <frameset  rows="19%,*">
        <frame name="top" src="top.html" marginwidth="10" marginheight="10" scrolling="auto" frameborder="0">
        <frame name="bottom" src="bottom.html" marginwidth="10" marginheight="10" scrolling="auto" frameborder="0">
    </frameset>
</frameset>

---

The second one:

Code:

---

<frameset  rows="17%,*">
    <frame name="top" src="top.html" marginwidth="10" marginheight="10" scrolling="auto" frameborder="0">
    <frameset  cols="10%,*">
        <frame name="left" src="left.html" marginwidth="10" marginheight="10" scrolling="auto" frameborder="0">
        <frame name="right" src="right.html" marginwidth="10" marginheight="10" scrolling="auto" frameborder="0">
    </frameset>
</frameset>

---

And I can't answer "how to tell all the pages to do stuff" until I know what stuff is. The best I can think of is:

Code:

---

<a href="http://www.yahoo.com" target="top"></a>

---

Will open up a link in the top window.

I started to compose a more indepth coverage of frames but found a much better tutorial (on Google ;) )
