I am working on my site layout..and I saw what looked something like this: http://www1.freewebs.com/funkydunky1088/

The way that the actual content is in the middle of the page, and the surrounding isn't used. Is there any certain way to do that? So far, I only have this for my site as a quick layout, and was wondering if I could incorporate that.

You can do it with frames or a table.
Frames:
you have to define the width and height of the center frame and leave the others "relative"
Table:
Just define the width and height of the only cell in the table.
Sorry for the delay :)

Excuse my ignorance, but what do you mean? First of all, what is the center frame? And secondly, how do I define the width/height? Thanks so much for your help.

Ok..thanks. I am making a little progress..now all I need to know is how to name the bottom table so that I can target.

Do a search for an online HTML guide it will tell you everything you need - as for naming, youre talking about a Frame set not a table... you can creat a frame set, then using the name="" atribute name it for targeting. Like I said, go to an HTML beginners guide online there's hundreds of 'em it will be a lot easier for you then like this. Good Luck.

The way tables work you can't name a cell to target it as a link. If you want to load content into a cell you could do it with a second flash movie, then use Java script to controll it from the first movie using getVariable and the like. I highly recommend using tables instead of frames, frames just suck and the more you use them the more you will agree. Another thing to consider is that you can just link to a new page that has the content on the bottom cell of the table, since the Flash movie will already be in the cache of the browser there shoulnd't be any load time for that. Just some thoughts....
