Re: Frames & targets & tables ~~ OH MY!!!

G'day kat,

I can help you with the frames thing.  Some time ago, I saw an excellent 
frames tutorial, and snagged it because I was writing a course at the time.  
I've used it myself several times since, but my problem is, I didnt write it 
and I can't remember where I got it.

I'll post it on my site, and you can use it, but if anyone finds who wrote 
it, please let me know and I'll take it down and put a link to that site 
instead.  I don't want to go taking anyone else's material.

Anyway, it goes through how you create frames, how you control where linked 
pages to and how you make frames within frames, vertical and horizontal 
frames.   In other words, it covers the basics of frames for you.

I hope this is what you want.

I'm loading it up at www.cia.com.au/afp/frames/index.html   If you get a 
"file not found" error, give it half an hour and come back.
