IR>Here's another quick question
IR>How do I link my pages and use frames properly?
IR>I am trying it free hand but it's not working.
I believe i answered part of your question earlier about how to use frames, 
but heres the rest.
if you want to link you page to another site you have to use the anchor tag 
which is .  Within the quotes you would type the url for the site 
that you want tot link your page to.  So say you wanted to link your page to 
Yahoo.  You'd type .  Then you would type the 
text after that tag that you want to be the text that people can click on to 
go to Yahoo.  For instance if you wanted the words "A great search engine." 
to be a link you would type the following: 
A great search engine.
The  tells the web browser that this is the end of the tag.  It is a good 
habbit to put the http:// before the name of the web site just to ensure that 
your visitors will really be linked to that site.
If you want the person to beable to e-mail you, instead of putting http:// 
you'd put mailto: then the e-mail address of the person you want the visitors 
of your page to e-mail.  For example I would put.
Click here to e-mail me.  Notice how 
there is the mailto: then my e-mail address which is heldtware@juno.com.
If you want to have internal links in you web page which means you want to 
link a part of your page to another part on that same page you would use 
 instead of  in the quotes you would type the name for 
that link.  This is called an anchor location.  Here is an example of an 
internal link.
Click here to see the bottom of this page.












Now you are at the bottom of the page
Notice how in the HREF part that links the user to the bottom of my page I 
put a # before the name of the link, this tells the borwser that this is an 
internal link within that same page.  I used  to define my 
anchor location.  Try this bit of code in a web browser and I gauarantee it 
will work.
Now last of all, if you are linking your page which contains frames to 
another web site, if you don't want that page to load within a frame, then 
you will add the TARGET="_TOP" to the end of the HREF tag.  Example:

You do that so you woun't have frames with frames within frames,etc.
It looks really bad if you don't add that to the HREF tags on a page that has 
frames.
