hi again, anyone know if is recommended to use frames on asp, cause i need to use a top frame with the header, and a lower frame to show all the records..

plz answer my question

It is not recomended to use frames at all (not only with ASP). If you want to use same header on all your pages try templates or SSI (Server Side Includes). SSI is my choice and there are few tutorials on this site, just search for it.

<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote><font size=1 face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>

I have contacted MacroMedia on the Frames issue with ASP. You can not same a frameset or any of its sub-frames in anything other than htm or html format. However once established, you can call forth any page you care to (including an ASP page) for results. All you need to do is set your link to the page.asp and target to what_ever_subframe.htm or html you care to load it into. In your case the bottom frame.

I am not sure if Templates or SSI will help you in this matter because I am not as familar with either of these. I use frames to speed up my downloads to the user since certain information on my web pages are consistant (IE head/Title and Navigation Bar information. I do not want this to be downloaded evertime the user changes a page, thus slowing their response down. This same thing may be accomplished by Templates, SSI or CCS but I do not know.
