I am probably the most inexperienced person that has ever logged on to this site, but I need help with frames. I understand the concept of inserting fames. When I save the frames and frameset I have created and attempt to preview them, explorer comes up with "page cannot be displayed." I cannot figure it out. Please help!!

probably because the most common error or problem fixer is you don't have them saved correctly. Save the frameset as something simple ex. "mainset" or whatever. Lets say you have 3 frames in your frame set. a top toolbar frame like the green DW zone above us. a scroll frame on the left side of the page, and a main browser frame. So with your frame set saved as "mainset" you have to THAN individually save the other frames WITHIN that frame set. EXAMPLE MAINSET --&gt; MAINTOP --&gt; MAINLEFT --&gt; MAINRIGHT and with Dreamweaver when your saving them individually, each frame is surrounded by marching ants <img src=../images/dwzone/forum/icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle> yea know the scrolly lines <img src=../images/dwzone/forum/icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle> hopefully that fixes your question

Thank you very much for the help, but which one would I save as my index.html or default.html?

your INDEX.HTML is the actually HTML page. It's your mainpage, or the first page of your webpage. The frames are going to be saved "on" or along with that page. But you'll be saving the frames differently from the actually page. My best advice is open a new page. Don't do anything with it and just save it as index.html Than after that's saved put in your frames. Than go to save frameset as. And you'll save the "whole" frameset, than you'll save the frames seprately.
