its hard to explain what it is, so ill just give a link to an example. www.2advanced.com

how do i go about making that layout? is it just frames? ive made a web page and want to make it that much nicer to look at. (btw, not referring to the design or flash work, just purely layout)

thanks in advance!

    Looks like the entire layout and navigation interface is Flash. Control-click on that part of the page and it gives you a Flash menu.

    Well, in that case I would recommend Photoshop, and Dreamweaver. Once you get a handle on layers in PS, and learn the little quirky things about (what is IMHO needlessly complicated) Dreamweaver, life is good.



    You can even use a cheaper HTML app like PageSpinner or the like. There are many great ones out there. If all else fails, you can get free templates all over the web and photoshop them until you like them, and have the HTML chores done already... or tweak them in an HTML editor. I ran a nice little high-school web business for a few years on mostly GraphicConverter and PageSpinner. But that was way back there...



    Just my ideas... 8)

    If you use Photoshop and image slices and save for web, it will create the HTML code for you using tables for the layout.

    I havent been there in a while but from the sounds of it, it is an iFrame.



    I would still avoid using frames though as they are the devil.



    If your trying to put scrolling content in a box some place on the screen use CSS.



    Use CSS



    CSS should work..

    Taking a quick glance at the source, it's one page... the huge flash thing that's essentially the entire page, and then three image slices, one for the left border, one for the right border, one for the site footer.



    It's basically laid out as a table, with row 1 being:

    <left image><flash thing><right image>



    and row 2 being

    <site footer>



    Am I missing something? I'm not sure what the scripting takes care of, so I could be off entirely.

    I only mentioned CSS because at the time I am to lazy to actually go there and investigate.
