Some questions.

[Mr. X.]

Hello.

Question 1.
--------------
In HTML page, I am using framesets :

i.e.
....
<frameset cols = "*,776,*">
<frame />
<frameset rows = "140,*">
<frame src = "my_page1.html"/>
<frameset cols = "*,180">
<frame src = "my_page2.html" name = "main_body" />
<frame src = "my_page3.html" />
</frameset>
</frameset>
<frame />
</frameset>
....

I want that the whole page will be a scrollable one (for my page, only
vertical scroll component), but the inner frames won't be scrollable.

How can I do that ?

Question 2.

 

[Ari Heino]

Why do you want to use frames?

 

[Mr. X.]

Frames it's a choice, for cons & pros, that I can use it to refresh contents
of a single frame,
and link it to another page, without refresh the whole page.

(For my example, I can write a javascript from my_page3.html, such as :
parent.main_body.location = "http:// ... new_source.html".
my_page3.html can be buttons ...)

(Also, did you mean CSS style with relative XPos and YPos ?
It doesn't solve the above)
Any other offer ?

For my questions, I would like an answer, please.

Another question (Question 4) :
When I use scrolling = "YES", I succeeded writing it for a single frame, but
:
scrolling is always visible (I just want to scroll when necessary).

How can I do the above ?

Thanks

Hello.

> Question 2.

You need to learn some web server programming technology, like PHP or
ASP.NET.

Question 3.

Assuming you mean *rich* text, there is no such thing as a rich text box
in HTML. There's the single-line text box (input tag with type="text")
and there's the multi-line textarea tag, but both of those are for plain
text.

Frames it's a choice

Usually a poor choice, unless you don't care whether search engines or
bookmarks can link to individual pages, and unless you don't care what
happens if the user has disabled frames.

happens if the user has disabled frames.

As long as it fits his browsing style, what does it matter if it fits his
visitors'. They're just a bunch of nuisances, anyway.

This last is an uncommon warning. There is *so* much that website makers
need to care about!

 

[Mr. X.]

I have asked several questions,
but I have seen a discuss of "wheather frames are good solution or not",
and get no answer to any of my questions (some of my questions are not
related to frames).

I shall ask them again here :

Question 1.
--------------
In HTML page, I am using framesets :

i.e.
....
<frameset cols = "*,776,*">
<frame />
<frameset rows = "140,*">
<frame src = "my_page1.html"/>
<frameset cols = "*,180">
<frame src = "my_page2.html" name = "main_body" />
<frame src = "my_page3.html" />
</frameset>
</frameset>
<frame />
</frameset>
....

I want that the whole page will be a scrollable one (for my page, only
vertical scroll component), but the inner frames won't be scrollable.

How can I do that ?

Question 2.
--------------
How can I represent a text-box with contents, and how can I load it's
contents from XML, rtf-file, etc ... ?

Question 3.
-------------
Same as question 2, but need also solution for reachtext box.

Question 4.
------------
When I use scrolling = "YES", I succeeded writing it for a single frame, but
:
scrolling is always visible (I just want to scroll when necessary).

How can I do the above ?

Thanks

 

[Mr. X.]

I know ASP, just forgot what is the exact command for loading into textbox.

Thanks

 

[Harlan Messinger]

to my questions :

Thanks

If you know any ASP at all I'm surprised you're asking about "commands"
for "loading" anything into a textbox or anywhere else because there is
no such command and because there isn't any difference between using ASP
to display characters in a textbox and using ASP to display characters
anywhere else on the page. It seems like you need to go back and review
your ASP skills.

If you're talking about how to get the data out of XML or a database,
well, it isn't a simple answer or a simple command; you need to learn
how data access works in ASP, using the XML document object model or
ADO, respectively.

I have asked several questions,

and get no answer to any of my questions (some of my questions are not
related to frames).

If you ask how to shoot yourself in the foot, most folks around here are
not inclined to give you such instruction.

With that in mind, frames are most often a lousy way to construct a web
page, so you're not likely to get a lot of advice except to find a
different solution.

You mentioned in another post that you already "know ASP", so why not
make use of that instead of frames, especially if you're going to use it
for your non-frames issue? Your visitors will probably thank you for it.

 

[Harlan Messinger]

Mr. X

Sorry. As you see, there are a very few people here that would much
rather lecture than try to help. They do this mostly when they don't
know the answer but want to be heard.

Yeah, they're sort of like people in a homemaking newsgroup who,
encountering someone who wants to know "Sometimes when I'm in the
bathtub I get hungry and I wish I could just lean over and pop some
toast in a toaster. What kind of toaster should I get?", respond, "You
shouldn't operate a toaster near the bathtub." Perfectly horrible
people, they are, not knowing the answer but just wanting to be heard.

In HTML page, I am using framesets :
....
I want that the whole page will be a scrollable one (for my page, only
vertical scroll component), but the inner frames won't be scrollable.

If you have a couple of cols and don't want the scrollbars when not
needed on the frames, you can do

<frameset cols="100, *">

<frame src="nav.html" name="navigation" scrolling="no">
<frame src="content.html" name="rightframe" scrolling="auto">

</frameset>

and this might suit if the right is content and the left is short nav.
It will, for all the world, seem as if the page is a normal one that
triggers a vertical scrollbar when needed.

 

[Harlan Messinger]

Harlen

You make my point for me.

No I don't.

Frames are a perfectly legal proper accepted by W3 method of designing
web pages.

Lots of things that are legal are a bad idea.

Your example has no merit at all. Frames are NOT
dangerous, just unliked.

For lots of good reasons that are, accordingly, good reasons to advise
someone not to use them.

I would not use them either. He had
questions he needed answered, not lessons in electrical safety.

I'll add you to my list of people who doesn't understand what the point
of an analogy is.

 

[Travis Newbury]

Lots of things that are legal are a bad idea.

That is such a lame argument. Or better yet, "Just because you can do
it, doesn't mean you should do it". That is as equally lame. There
are plenty of good reasons not to use frames, your statement isn't one
of them.

 

[Mr. X.]

I have found answers to my questions ...

Thanks, anyway.

For frames, for my opinion, it does some arrangemants on what you do, even
of its complication.
It also compitable for all browsers (netscape, IE for all versions, and more
....)
When you know how using it - it can be proffitable.

I didn't mean to open a useless argument. If someone doesn't know, so he/she
shouldn't answer.
Besides, there are lots that claim frames to be the best attitude.
It is a solution for pros & cons, but when you create some attitudes on your
work, you must not change them frequency.
(i.e I have created many functions, that one of create a menu from xml -
that can be changed much better from other attitudes).

For Question 1 :
What I did to solve the scroll problem, is use iframe that is linked to an
HTML that has includes frames.

For Question 2 :
There is a StreamReader object for that,
but I don't understand why at the main site www.w3schools.com there isn't
any clue for that object, which I by mistake found on the internet.

For Question 3:
I didn't find any free reach-text box yet,
but yet I can handle with much lower-level ones, until I find a good free
reach-text box tool
(someone know any ?)

For Question 4:
dorayme has answered (scrolling = "auto").

Thanks
