Sticky Pages!

Post by El Brenty »

Anyone got any suggestions on how I can stick 2 HTML pages together?

The page on the left will be a contents page, and the page on the right will chenge according to hyperlinks. Sounds simple enough - A split frame would handle this fine...

BUT I want them to both scroll at the same time as if they were one page!

At the moment, I'm thinking of embedding as a solution, but haven't looked into it enough.

Anyone got any ideas?

I've tried all of the applicable ones, and it just ain't working.

Any other suggestions?

What I'm trying to achieve is this:

- I'm trying to duplicate a poorly written web-page that has a menu and some content.
- When something off the menu is selected, the whole page re-loads. (Really, they should hve used frames for this to keep the menu intact, but they didn't.
- When you scroll the page, the menu scrolls with it, as it's part of the same page.
- I'm trying to siumulate this by having a menu in a frame, and a forum in the other frame, but the menu needs to scroll along with the forum, as if they are 1 page - Like on Matt's forum's homepage, the menu scrolls with the contents.

If I can't find a solution to making the frames scroll together as one, Iml going to have to spend hours redesigning the 2 forum tremplates to accommodate this.

I couldn't come up with a suitable solution Frames wise, so I incorporated the menu and formatting into the forum header.

I found out that if you leave the TABLE tag open in the header, the forum body and footer will continue loading into the last cell of the table, allowing you to create a menu and contents side-by-side. Just close off the TABLE tag in the footer, and you're re-aligned to the left margin!

Here's the result: http://www.oxyforum.com/martialartinstitute/

I'm just trying to work on the fonts formatting now. The forum stylesheet overrides any fonts you specify, so I'm trying to get them added into the style-sheet. Easy if you know how, I don't at the moment.
