Hello,

This is my first time visiting this site and I have a question about HTML. Right now I am kind of new to it but I am making a site for my guild on an online game. I am just experimenting with different tags until I get better but one thing I am having problems with is frames. This is the code I am using:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"><html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /><title>Untitled Document</title></head><frameset cols="120,*"><frame src="Main.html" /><frame src="Main Page.html" /></frameset><noframes></noframes></html>

All the stuff at the beginning is something that Dreamweaver automatically has and I wasn't sure what it meant so I didn't alter it.

Here is the site: http://twilightbriga...m.com/Home.html

If you scroll over the border between one frame and the otehr you get the little arrow that lets you expand one frame. I want this gone! Thanks to anyone that can help :)

Make it something like this:

<frame name="header" src="Main.html" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" border="0" framespacing="0" noresize="noresize" />

Change parameters as needed. Code needs correcting. Both your frame pages have incorrect coding and the top image of main page seems to be squeezed in.

P.S. Example of what I've used before:

<frameset cols="100%" rows="41%,*" frameborder="0" border="0" framespacing="0">
<frame name="header" src="facts_fr1.html" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" border="0" framespacing="0" noresize="noresize" />
<frame name="content" src="facts_fr2.html" scrolling="auto" frameborder="0" border="0" framespacing="0" noresize="noresize" />
</frameset>

All the scrolling="auto" frameborder="0" border="0" framespacing="0" stuff could probably be removed from the <frame> tags only.

And just to play devils advocate, you really shouldn't be using frames at all.

Everything that you are doing with frames can be done with CSS.

You'll get better performance from your pages, your pages will be able to be indexed by the search engines (they ignore frame sites), and you will be following W3C standards which makes the web more stable and usable.
