That example page you posted uses frames... the only real difference with that vs tables is that with frames, part of the page can scroll independently.
With tables:
Code:
Title Up Here
<.table>
<.tr>
<.td>
<.a href="link.html">Nav Link<./a><br />
<.a href="link.html">Nav Link<./a><br />
<.a href="link.html">Nav Link<./a>
<./td>
<.td>
And you put all the page content over here.
<./td>
<./tr>
<./table>
With frames:
You have one file that defines the frames:
Code:
<.frameset rows="150,*" framespacing="0" border="0" frameborder="0">
<.frame name="title" scrolling="no" noresize src="title.html">
<.frameset cols="150,*">
<.frame name="navbar" target="main" src="navbar.html" scrolling="auto">
<.frame name="main" src="main.html" target="main" scrolling="auto">
<./frameset>
<./frameset>
title.html:
navbar.html:
Code:
<.a href="link.html">Nav Link<./a><.br />
<.a href="link.html">Nav Link<./a><.br />
<.a href="link.html">Nav Link<./a>
main.html:
Code:
And you put all the page content over here.
Of course, you would delete all the periods that I put in the code. (They're just there because the forum is not rendering html as text)
