Building Web Sites with Dreamweaver
Authoring and maintaining Web sites with Dreamweaver is a snap once you are comfortable with the software. Having some HTML background and solid design concepts is also an enormous help, so we try to pass along as much as we can during class. If something doesn't make sense when you're working with Dreamweaver after class, you can post your questions here.

Help!!! I created a template for all of my pages that are not part of the gallery. So far so good, all pages are functioning as I would expect. Then I created a frame-set for the gallery and as a stand alone it functions exactly as I would expect. The top and left sides are stationary and the content changes according to what I pick on the left side (where the links map to the content). Ok here is my problem. When I go to any other page that is not part of the frameset the left side and the content part of the frameset will never leave once invoked. I have tried to ask the target on the menu on the top to open a new page, a parent, self??? Any ideas what I might be doing wrong?

Hi Joanne,
Although _parent will work sometimes, please use _top instead to break out of the framesets. _parent is designed to go up one level and sometimes you may be in a nested frameset, in which case it only goes up one level and ends up still within frames. To be sure that never happens, use _top as the target on any link where you want to be rid of the frames and back to your regular pages.

I have one more question on frames. The menu on the left side of the gallery is longer than there is room for it on the screen. I don’t understand why it does not give me an automatic scrollbar. From every thing I have read on the help, it should. Any suggestions?
Joanne
Hi Joanne,
It looks like you've got the scrolling option turned off in the frame properties.
1. Open the Frames panel
2. Click on the left menu frame in the panel
3. Look for the scrolling option in the property inspector
4. Set it to "yes" or "auto"
