i'm making a webpage in php, and i want to use frameset.

for some reason, the webpage displays properly when working on it individually, but it doesn't parse the php code anymore when i have it embedded into a frameset. It works perfect on my account on some other server, but it just doesn't work on my local computer.

everything is up to date, i don't see why it's not working here.

plz somebody help me

my dreamweaver was being gay, it doesn't use the localhost url, instead, it uses fil:|| crap, is there a way to fix it?

the solution usually is: stop using Dreamweaver. :)

macromedia is usually if you have a mysql on your computer insted of having it on your website!!! but i found it easier to do stuff on my website or a notepad insted of macromedia....

And using frameset is even worse. Their time was in late 20th century, not anymore. Using frameset is like living in caves. It doesn't require any building, but is extremely unconfortable.

the only reason i still use dreamweaver ( course i would never touch design mode ) is because the auto code is helpful, especially with cssing, but yea, someone needs to make a developer's dreamweaver, i haven't found one that really hits the spot.

ah

then what program do you recommend? if macromedia is kicked out. well, don't tell me frontpage, cos' it sux even moree :)

what else can you use other than frameset when you want to add ... like a side panel or something to the webpage? another layer? or some javascript stuff to make it scroll with the page? any suggestions?

i'm a newbie :)

I recommend nothing that has WYSIWYG features. :) Read the favorite editor's thread in general discussion.

Thats correct.

You can make a <div id="sidepanel"> and position it with CSS. And here comes the magic... use include("sidepanel_include_file.inc") to embed it on each page. Easy as making soap.

http://www.crimsoneditor.com/ :idea: pure unadultered freeware.

Highlights syntax, functions, strings, vars etc... can be used for PHP, Perl, Java, JavaScript, CSS, HTML etc.... not a WYSIWIG editor it just makes it easier to read your code by using color coding and showing bracket pairs etc. It also does the nesting automatically for you!

I use it all the time. It has a built-in FTP function too so you can edit files on a FTP server.

Best one I've seen. Notepad is cr#p for PHP editing becuase it's really difficult to debug your code...

:P :P :P :P
