I am trying to create a set of links that would open the linked site in a new browser window and contain a heading with the linked site info populating the lower portion of the window below the top "frame". how would I pull this off using dreamweaver 8?

to illustrate this, look at the basista furniture site and select a choice from the manufacturers drop down menu on the left. I would like to do this but not from a drop down menu, just as text links.

thanks in advance!

create the text link like:
a href="yournewframeset.html" target="_blank"

create a frameset with the top part being the info you want and the bottom bit being the website you wish to frame and name it yournewframeset.html

That's a very old simple way...

Note: if the website you are trying to frame doesn't like it... it might "bust out"...

thanks for the info.... one last question, how do you get the site to "display" in the lower frame? I am alright with the top frame but need help with making the other site populate the lower frame.

something like this...

Code: [copy]




If you do it this way it will be a good idea to stop the search engines from indexing the pages, I think...depends what your aim is.
