Inserting javascript - FP 2000

Tom Richards

I would like to add a tool to my toolbox. I love the way the left-side
navigation bar here

works. The links open the content in the same window. The source code
reveals a lot of javascript. But I searched several javascript sites and
can't seem to find anything that approximates this technique. Any ideas?

Hi Tom,

I'm not sure I see what you like about this menu - it's just plain old
javascript rollovers. You can do them in FP2003 with the swap image
behavior. The script on this site is generated with Dreamweaver but it's
very basic.

I think Mr Hemphill is on the money when he suggests learning a bit about
frames (how to use them - and why not to) to my mind this site does not
need, and should not be using, frames. In general if you see something you
like on a page study the source. First rule of web design - god gave you
eyes so plagiarise...just kidding ;-)

Have you used frame pages before?
Insert a new page FRAME PAGE pick the one that best suites your needs. You
can edit the html to remove any extra frames you don't need.

Also, don't forget to right click within each frame and set the frame
properties to your liking example: no borders, scrolbars, etc..

Also, to get the images within each frame to meet with no margins, goto page
properties and set margins to 0.

Hope thats help you a bit. If not, I'm sure more expereinced Frontpagers
will be replying shortly.

Mike

I like it because it seems appropriate for a business website. And, yes,
frames seems to be the way to employ it.

FYI, frames makes if very hard for your user to bookmark/add to favorites specific pages within your
site or for you to send a link to a client. Also without creating the frameset dynamically the
search engines will index your pages individually, so when user access your site from a search
engine the page will load outside of the frameset, with no means of navigating your site.
