I read the site design help twice and could not figure out how to frame pages within my site.

David,

Are you wanting the HTML code to create frames so that you only have one page on your site and just swap content? If so, look at the frame and frameset tags on this page: http://www.w3schools.com/tags/default.asp but do understand that search engines may not check all your content.

Are you wanting to put a border around your page? If so, use CSS to create and style the borders. Look here http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_reference.asp#border for border style setting.

Are you trying to do something else? If so please explain what you are trying to accomplish.

thanks for the reply, i tied some of the html and had no luck.
I am trying to open a link within a frame and so far the best I can do is get the content of the link to show but the function of the website fails.

So, you want to open a smaller frame within a page with the link content? I think you need an iframe. This is an area within an existing page that shows content from another page. Read up about them and see if that is what you want to do.

also when you're dealing with actual "frames" you do have to tell the page/graphic/etc. what frame you want it to load in by using a target tag. If that's not what you mean then... I'll just shut up here :P
