Hello alll,

I am in the middle of making a page, and I am wondering how 
search engine results will affect it.

Since I have a table of contents page, with a LOT of sub-pages 
linked to it, I decided to use frames, table of contents on one side, 
and the information on the other side.

Now, let's call the entire page page.html, made up of two frames, 
toc.htm and info.htm (I usually use .htm in cases like this, where the 
actual page is part of a bigger page due to frames.)  Now, since the 
toc.htm page is just an index as it were, all the information is on 
page.htm.  That's the main page.  This is where the important 
information is, as well as if I decided to add keywords and 
description meta tags, they would go on that page (since they are 
different for every page, putting them on page.html won't make 
sense).  Now, if someone ran a search for those keywords, or 
something similar, what page would show up in search engines, 
page.html (which is what I want), or info.htm.

Okay, I realize that I'm never good at describing things, more better 
at doing them (part of the reason I think I'm in the business I'm in.)  
Here is an example; I'm working on http://david.national-
anthems.net/new/index.html .  (Only "Home" and "Acadia" work on 
the table of contents, taht's all I've done so far).  I haven't separated 
them into frames yet, right now the toc and page are on the same 
page, but the page is 10x bigger than my page before 
(http://david.national-anthems.net/index.html), multiply that by 300 
different anthem pages, and I'd need a gig of storage!

For the one or two of you that I haven't throughly confused, can you 
tell me if a search engine will display the master page.html or just 
the information page without the table of contents (info.htm).

Thanks
