Next time provide the full URL, as in http://members.dodo.com.au/~niloch1

That way it appears as actual clickable link on most peoples newsreader. As
you did not I had to copy/past what you did provide to my browser, a bad
start for you already.

I need some comments on the HTML and how to fix what I have done

I saw some frames, some horrible background in one of them, the rest starkly
white and one of them with some standard boilerplate buttons.

Then I started to read the content. I did not get past the second sentence
before I decided that this is not a site I would ever need to look at. Not
even to review it.

No, I will not. You ask a question on usenet, you get your response here.

Click on a button and that page opens in the frame where the buttons
are. Can't read it, no scroll bar, but then that isn't where I'm
expecting the content to be anyway.

I see an icon for a web developer at the bottom of the page. If you
paid them money to do your site I'd say that's the first place to go
to get some help (or a refund).

First, do not use frames. They do not work.

Second, pick up a web page editor - tell me your budget in USA dollars and
I can suggest one for you.

Colin,

OK, there are many changes that could be suggested for your site, but
I'm going to focus on the one that is most apparent to all of your
visitors: If you click on the links at the right side of the screen, the
resulting page is loaded over those links. This means that the page
can't really be seen (most of it is off screen) and also means that the
links are now gone, leaving the user with only the browser's 'Back'
button for navigation.

You are using frames. When you activate a link within a frame, the
default is to load the target page into the same frame as the link.
That's what is happening now. What you WANT is for the target page to
be loaded into the larger scrollable frame to the left of the links.

You have given that frame a name: "mainFrame". What you need to do is to
specify on the links that mainFrame is where you want the target page to
be loaded, not in the same frame as the link.

To do this, on page SideFrame.htm, you need to insert target="mainFrame"
inside each of the Anchor tags, thus:
<a href="colin.htm"> should become <a href="colin.htm"
target="mainFrame">

You should make the same change to each of the six links.

Whether you use this newsgroup or alt.html.critique (which concentrates
on reviewing sites, sometimes with a rather heavy hand), you may find
the information at

be helpful.
