First of all Publius, you should know that not all browsers can see frames. Although, I'm pretty sure that the serious net-surfer is using a more current browser therefore it's not a big concern. To answer your questions, the Frameset is the command for telling the browser that you are wanting to insert frames. In the frameset command, you also have to specify if you are using columns or rows. For the type of page you are describing, you will want to use Colums. Your command should look like this: <FRAMESET COLUMNS=> . You will also have to specify the size of colums you want. If you're building a basic frame page with the menu on the left side, you may want to try something like: <FRAMESET COLUMNS='100,*'> The asterix tells the browser that the second frame is not a specified size. Basically, you want your menu frame to be 100 pixels wide and the display frame will be the remainder of the page. Of course, you may want to play with the sizes until you find one you like. A Frame is a division in your browser window. To connect one frame to another, you'll need to use the Target command in your frame settings. For example: <frame src='URL OF MENU FRAME' name='MENU'> Now in your menu links, you'll have links that you want opened in your display window right. Just add the simply Target command to your link like this: <A HREF="URL OF LINK" TARGET="/display.html"> For all this to work, you have to assign names in your frame code to all frame separations in your page. You then use the simple Target tag to assign which window opens the link. I'm not sure as to how clear this is for you. I may have completely confused you altogether. If you still need a hand with it, let me know exactly what you want done and I can give you the code you want and then break it down.
