My layout consists of:
Ok all my pages will be exactly the same except for the main content area. Is this where an iframe comes in?
- top banner area
- left hand side navigation area
- central main content area
- right hand side bulletin area
If so, can anyone explain how I don't have to build every page from scratch (ie: I just put up the main content on each page rather than the banner, navigation AND bulletins)?
+rep for useful help.

have a read through that
http://www.yourhtmlsource.com/frames/inlineframes.html
of course the first example on there is customisable so if you want to change it use the following:
frameborder="0"
setting the border to 0 gets rid of it, allowing the page to seamlessly integrate with your main page. Possible values are 1 (yes) and 0 (no), you cannot give it a bigger border.
marginwidth="x"
adds a margin to the sides of the framed page.
marginheight="x"
adds the margin to the top and bottom of the framed page. Added to any margins you've given the pages in their <body> tags.
scrolling="no"
if the framed page is too big for the dimensions you've specified a scrollbar will appear. This attribute will stop this from happening.
align="right"
like the image attribute, this will affect how the text around the frame aligns itself.
hspace="x"
sets a margin of white space around the frame to the sides.
vspace="x"
sets a white-space margin to the top and bottom.Last edited by reindeer.; 22-12-2007 at 10:15 AM.

Right, so would my main content be in the iframe or would it be the rest of the page without the main content?

Use DIVs styled with CSS, or PHP includes/AJAX (PHP includes & AJAX are more like iframes - DIVs are a way to code your actual layout).

Don't use iframes, use PHP includes for everything bar the content [use a different page for each content page].

While I'm still using them, does anyone know why you have to have a margin? The minimum is 1px so I've got an annoying 1px thick white line going througb everything :@.

Oh nvm, it lets me set it at "0" now :rolleyes:.
