Hi : Im just about to start desinging a site for a client and it will be using 'Frames'. I havnt done much work with frames, so I was just wondering if anybody can answer these questions that I have to ask below:


1) Im going to have 2 frames, a top frame and bottom frame so basicly the page split into 2 halfs. Although iv drawn my layout in photoshop already as one whole piece, if crop the top frame part and the bottom frame, and then stick each part into a frame, will both parts line up correctly so you cant see the frames? So the design will just flow through....


2) Iv seen some sites use things such as " i-Frames " is anybody able to quickly sum up, what iframes are?




If anyone is able to help, would be appreciated, thanks in advance Ben.

ehmmm, not sure what you mean by question 1, can tell you though that frames suck and I would advise anyone against using them. I had to create sites a while back using it and it was a nightmare from start to end.

But the iFrame creates an inline frame displaying another page inside your page

hope this helps

To answer your first question. As long as you don't use a border on the frames it will line up nicely.
