page implementation

[Zylstra]

I am desinging a website, and have run into a problem:
Advertizing

Our main pages are built using HTML. What we need to do is make a box (Hopfuly to the side of the webpage) that has a .shtml page inside it. Since frames are not always supported on all web browsers, we would like to avoide them (That, and we already tried using frames, it messed our code up a bit, and we had to revert. )
We are using Dreamweaver, and the advertizements we are trying to implement into the pages are using Entropy Banner

Sorry to say this, but I think frames would be the best way to go. What happened when you used frames, how bad did it mess up?

Thanks for the quick reply, Ffreak.
It seems that when I started adding the coding:

Code: [Select]

<frameset rows="8%">

  <frame src="frame_a.htm">


</frameset>All my page content went: BAM!
And it was gone. The frames starting making two new files, even though it was just supposed to split the current screen.

If I have to use frames: What I would like to do is make index.htm show advert.shtml on the bottom (or side) of the page. How would I do this?
(And to think, I run a webdesign forum!   )

Also, I would like to make it so that it will only load on certain pages. I dont want it to be displayed in the news, or the catalog. Any way to do this?

LOL, hold on a sec. I'll see what I can do. (Hopefully :-/)

Thanks, Ffreak! I really apperciate it!

Well I hope something like this may help you...Sorry I was kind of in a rush. It is just a layout, hopefully you can use it though.

Or you could always use an iframe, but it may not look as good.

Hmm... I am not sure wether its going to work or not. I know its possible to put one HTML file inside another into a non-framed box, I just dont know how. If I find an example, I will tell you.

Here is a screenshot of my YaBB Fourm Administration Center, it shows what I am talking about, and yes, I do realize that that is Perl no HTML, but it works for an example
The arrow points to the place where an external page is located.

You could probably use something along the lines of this. It uses an iframe, I used the color black to emphasize the location of the iframe.

I will try it, thank you
(I hope it works!)

As do I .
