No one can teach you the basics. It'd be better if you goto a website such as http://www.w3schools.org or http://www.htmlgoodies.com and search around for HTML tutorials.

Good luck.

ok it will take me a while but i will learn some html but first off angelfire.com dosnt have that much options is there any other webhosting sites?

[Alcar]

You could try http://www.brinkster.com as they are reasonably good. They don't have any HTML tutorials though, only hosting.

I'm not sure what you're specifically asking for, but try www.webmonkey.com for some great HTML tutorials. I learned all of what I know (which isn't that much) from Webmonkey.

Okay, you do this using the "frameset" html tag.

I'll help you out.

This involves two pages. Let's call them "MenuBar.html" and "TargetWindow.html"

"MenuBar"
In this page, you'll have to create a hyperlink surrounding your thumbnail images in the "img tag". After the link put the "target=TargetMenu.html" tag. This makes it so your page pops up in the Mainwindow while keeping the SideMenu off to the side.

Example:

<a href="picture1.html" target="mainwindow"><img src="thumbnail1.gif"></a> <br>

"TargetWindow"
This is the page where you add the "frameset tag". DO NOT PUT IT IN THE BODY. This tag goes between the head tag.

Example:

<frameset cols="25%,75%">
<frame src="MenuBar.html" name="sidemenu" noresize>
<frame src="TargetWindow.html" name="mainwindow">
</frameset>

This makes it so your two pages are now linked together in frames. If you have any problems, just PM me.

so were does the MenuBar.html come in to all of this?

Here we go! Sorry, I made a typo!

"MenuBar"
In this page, you'll have to create a hyperlink surrounding your thumbnail images in the "img tag". After the link put the "target=MenuBar.html" tag. This makes it so your page pops up in the Mainwindow while keeping the SideMenu off to the side.

Example:

<a href="picture1.html" target="mainwindow"><img src="thumbnail1.gif"></a> <br>

"TargetWindow"
This is the page where you add the "frameset tag". DO NOT PUT IT IN THE BODY. This tag goes between the head tag.

Example:

<frameset cols="25%,75%">
<frame src="MenuBar.html" name="sidemenu" noresize>
<frame src="TargetWindow.html" name="mainwindow">
</frameset>

Pretty much MenuBar.html doesn't have to be exact. The HTML page you want to be off the side goes in front of sidemenu. I just put it there for an example. The same goes for TargetWindow.html.
