I used Dreamweaver quite a few years ago but then moved on to Flash. Due to Apple's iPad and iPhone popularity I'm going back to html, but it's all moved on since I used it before. I've been teaching myself css, divs, etc., but I used to use frames, so there would be a constant nav bar at the top and pages loaded into a lower frame. Is something similar possible now or do I need to load a completely new page in. Grateful for any advice.

Position fixed for the looks, but not for the functionality. Frames are still around even if few people want to use them.

Thank you for your help, a bit more optimistic now. Lots to learn, though.

So I've made a rough layout using frames, with a fixed top and sides, the content loading into the mainFrame. However when I load in to the mainFrame I get a scroll in the middle of the page, as this
How can I get round this, please? |

By filling that page with very little content? What do you want to happen if there's more content than there is frame?

That's just an example - the pages will filled with course details which take up a lot of room. I want the scroll to be on the left edge of the browser window. Do I need to do it as a 2 frame site, keeping the top frame for the navigation and the bottom one with content, including the blue borders? I'm grateful for your help, and excuse any stupidity on my part. I'm an old dog trying to learn new tricks. |

Maybe you can do some tricks with text direction but I wouldn't recommend it. People would find it confusing if the scrollbar wasn't were they expected it to be.

Ok, I've now figured how to make a single column site, centred in the window, with header and footer divs and, in between, a content div. How do I make the content div expand with more content, please?

By not stopping it from doing so. What you want is the natural order of things. Don't use a height and don't use overflow.
