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

Mike:
    Thank you, thank you.... I am in your debt!  (No one ever seems to want
to answer frames questions... could it be that they are just as confuzzled
as I?  LOL)  Yeah,  so I finally nailed the frames thing -- right now simply
via FrontPage but I couldn't even make it successful through them before...
now I can study my own source code and learn to do it myself!

    Well, I just got pointed in the direction of a very interesting new
navigation bar... I just now uploaded the script to my newly established
"tester" site (there is no body yet, only the navigation bar, this really is
only a site for testing new scripts, etc., but this is the BOMB for any
puter nerd like myself.... it's only viewable in IE 4x
and/or NetScape 4x, but the way I see it is, if someone is THAT far behind
the times, then they don't really care to see new technology anyway!
    Anyway, you have to check out this navigation bar, I successfully set up
the skeleton (of course I will personalize it very soon!) in moments, and it
was very easy!  My URL is: http://mysticalserenity.bizland.com/index.html
.... Again, no body yet (unless I put something up *really* quick right now
such as a pic of my Rottie or some silly thing, lol), but the bar is
amazing!  (Or fun?  Useful?)  To me, anyway... basically, it's one bar at
the top of the browser window, but as you hold the mouse over each menu
button, more menu buttons pop up (or shall I say down?) under it!  (Much of
the bar's content on my test site is generic, provided by the writer of this
script, at least for now -- I just wanted to set it up quickly and test it
out for myself.)  BTW, I got this script at
http://dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex1/topnavbar.htm ... for anyone
interested in this OR 100's + more Java, HTML, etc., scripts, as well as
graphics... the whole sha-bang!  Anything from the bubble gum, teenie bopper
stuff to serious programming, this site, dynamicdrive.com, seems to have
more than any site I've personally seen yet!
    Hope some of you enjoy dynamicdrive.com... I know that I have, and I've
barely gotten a peek at it yet.
Happy Surfing,
  ~~KAT~~

: NOpe, on second thoughts I looked a bit harder for the url for the
tutorial, and I found it.   It's much better that you see it on the author's
own site, because he's done a great job of writing it.  He's got a frames
tutor, forms tutor,tables tutor, and lots of great tips and hints.
Specially for beginners.
