I've been using them for some years, but it's been a while, and I'm rusty. I need to make a frameset to look like this (colours indicating separate frames):

Everything I've tried has me pulling my hair out, any help would be appreciated.

This should help you get started, I think it is what you wanted:
Code: <frameset cols="20%,*,20%">
<frame name="left" scrolling="no" noresize target="rtop">
<frameset rows="15%,*,15%">
   <frame name="top" scrolling="auto">
   <frame name="contents" scrolling="auto">
   <frame name="bottom" scrolling="auto">
</frameset>
<frame name="right" scrolling="auto">
<noframes>
<body>

<p>This page uses frames, but your browser doesn't support them.</p>

</body>
</noframes>
</frameset>

a very good and helpful post indeed cory. you are much the man. but, ben, if you are not so bent on using frames, would you maybe perhaps consider using tables? they can become very useful :)

Thanks Corey! That worked as I hoped it would. I was more or less playing with a layout idea I had for a new site I was working on. I didn't end up using the framset after all, but I'll hang on the this bit of code for future use.

DCCS, Tables ad I go WAY back. I rarely use frames for anything, hense the need for a bit of guidance with the more complex framsets like this one. In the end I did end up going with a table layout. Have a looksee if you are interested:

Cool site. I never touch frames anymore - but a WYSIWYG editor does come in handy every so often :)
