I want to write a multi-frame web page. At level one, it has
two frames, saying LEFT and RIGHT. At level two, I split the RIGHT frame
into two again, saying UPPER_RIGHT and LOWER_RIGHT.
The LEFT frame contains a menu. The reason I need two levels
is because each menu item needs different UPPER_RIGHT and
LOWER_RIGHT frames. I just found that I could not nest frames.
Can someone please tell how to write such a web page?
thank you

You realise, of course, that your post will wake up the frame-o-phobes, who will then explain to you why the use of frames will bring about the end of civilization as we know it ;-)
Anyway, here's a good example (and you may want to read the rest of the section):
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/present/frames.html
In the example, the page will look like a mirror-image of your requirements-- but should give you an idea of how to write the HTML.
In your case, you'll need (in basic terms) something like:
<frameset cols="30%, 70%"> <frame src="left_frame .htm" name="Menu"> <frameset rows="100, 200"> <frame src="upper_righ t.htm" name="descripti ve name of this frame."> <frame src="lower_righ t.htm" name="descripti ve name of this frame."> </frameset> etc.
The w3c reference will show you how to set the various proportions of the frames on the screen.
Post back if you've still got problems.
regards
PS. Do understand that you will not be able to fill both frames simultaneously with content from a single 'click' on the menu. For that you are probably going to need javascript -- so if that's what your thinking of doing, you should visit one of the javascript NGs.
Thank you and others. By looking through all the replies and pointers,
I know how to write the page now.
I agree now that using frames is not a good idea. I did not notice it
before. I do not write web pages often, but want to finish a task as
soon as possible. I believe I will not use frames any more.
Thank you all again.

The answer to the FAQ "How do I update two frames at once?" <http://www.htmlhelp.co m/faq/html/frames.html#fra me-update2> includes a non-JavaScript solution that works more reliably than the JavaScript solutions.
But see also: http://www.htmlhelp.com/faq/html/fra...frame-problems
Well, it's not actually updating two frames ... just replacing one of
the existing frames with a new frameset on an 'all-or-nothing' basis.

If frames were so great, Netscape Corporation (since bought by AOL) would still be using them today. As it stands, Netscape Corporation dumped their frames site within a matter of months.
Frames are obsolete. Any other method of trying to solve the same problems is a step up.
Ah yes: http://www.netscape.com/
Excellent site design .... fixed-width, nested-table layout ... thanks

Whereas much of what has been espoused in c.i.w.a.* for the last five years or so is still being widely ignored, the market actually does seem to have caught on to the need to ditch frames.
When I had a discussion on this with a site owner a few months ago, I took the trouble of checking some 15 or 16 sites belonging to his customers and competitors.
Just one used frames.
Does that make him a bad person ..... ;-)

You've got the wrong end of the stick here. You're talking to web page authors - but the more experienced authors here know that it's discerning *readers* who hate frames.
My pages are written using a 640 px window, with a font size that suits,
etc. (though nothing in the pages enforces those), without frames. They
have a "Frame This" link at the top, which adds a left indexing column
about 150 px wide, usable but not required for site navigation. If, in
that state, the window is made 800 px wide, the main frame is
substantially the same width as before. There is a link for de-framing.
Assuming that the user is either uninterested in or aware of the book-
marking situation, why need he go so far as to *hate* the frames?
Actually, there has been a deficiency in my usage; No-Frame went to #
rather than to page.htm, so that the address bar showed just # (it shows
page.htm after clicking the dot in the H1, but readers are not expected
to know that); I'll change it so that it goes explicitly to page.htm.
Thank you for making me think of it.
The change is easy, with DOS for and MiniTrue, but every page needs to
be uploaded; so when this article appears maybe only estrdate.htm and a
few others will have been uploaded.

Hello,
I just wonder what are the implications to use frames to build portal. I've
seen some sites that are quite fast with frames but I just wonder if there
are hidden "costs".
I've tried to use in the past and I run into a lot of problems when I worked
with environment where there were frame and no frames pages.
Please let me know if frames are OK to use for serious portal.

I am having trouble dynamically assigning a value to a table's cell
from one frame to another frame.
I've created a website that is primarily viewed in a frameset
consisting of 2 frames - a navigation frame (navFrame) at the top and
a contents frame (mainFrame) on the bottom. In all instances, the
mainFrame displays a single page except in one case, where it was
necessary to use a frameset consisting of a left frame...

We've been through this before.
But as frameset is still a part of HTML, there must be some legitimate use

but regarding table markup I sure know when it isn't good, but can't
