haha - it's true - that is how unknowledgeable I am. My question is there a way to build a page with only a Top Border that then loads another page as the main body? I am trying to do a hybrid of a review page and frame loading a sponsors page so that the top border will have a little text -- this is our best choice because -- blah, blah blah but then don't have to click to go anywhere as the page being promoted would be fully displayed under that border.
Thanks,

Salutations Moussant

At your stage of learning, I would suggest finding a page on the internet that does what you want. View the source code and copy and paste it into a text document. Change the extension on the text document from .txt or .doc to .htm

Now you can begin to delete things from the source code that you don't want and tinker with it until you have made your own page out of it.

This is how many (including Biff) learned HTML.

Good Luck

Thinks for your quick reply but I don't think that's exactly what I need. I'm not really trying to create a page - I plan to load the sponsors page in a frame but want to keep a couple inches at the top for my comments - just a header kinda but then the "Real Page" would be the hoplink page. Maybe a better way to explain would be to say I want to load an entire other page into a part of my page
Thanks,

You can use HTML frame feature.
It will allow you to include a completely different HTML page or URL.

This can be done by HTML Frames or Include files.
Can you show the page, would help.

You could try something like this with frames...

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Frameset//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/frameset.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>Sponsored Page</title>
</HEAD>
<frameset rows="10%, 100%">
<frame src="header.html">
</frameset>
<frameset>
<frame src="http://www.sitehere.com">
</frameset>
</html>

What your talking about doing is an iframe. The code for this is quite simple, just look up iframes on google.

But please do not code anything in Outlook Express. If you want basic drag and drop functionality use Frontpage (which is awful in itself), at least then your code will be remotely stable. There are standards on the web now such as XHTML 1.0, WCAG, and things such as doctypes which have to be adhered to. Simply making the page 'look right' isn't enough. How do you think your website will look when dislayed on different browsers for example? Or to people with disabilities? There are lots of considerations.

Other alternatives are using Notepad, wordpad, PHP Designer, or Dreamweaver if you have the money, for proper coding. Here is a skeleton of what all your pages should have for the transitional doctype:



<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>My website</title>
</head>

<body>
code goes here
</body>
</html>


Or if you want to use frames or iframes, then do this:



<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Frameset//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/frameset.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>My website</title>
</head>

<body>
code goes here
</body>
</html>

Speaking of frames, I would likely use include files instead of frames for search engine friendlier sites. :D
