First let me start off by saying I am not a web developer. I have a few books that gets me through what I want done. I hope I put this in the right forum, I thought programming would work better than general though.

So I am making a website and I want the index page to have a certain layout. I am not sure if I should use frames or tables. I am not sure if one or the other is capable of doing what I want. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions on this. Here is what I am looking at:
------------------------------------------------------
|BBBBBB|AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA|
|BBBBBB|--------------------------------------|
|BBBBBB|CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC|
|BBBBBB|CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC |
------------------------------------------------------|

Ok, so what I want is A to be static. It will be picture for the site. I do not want this moveable. B will be a menu. I want to allow it to be vertically scrollable if it needs to be. If it must scroll, I want it to scrolling completely independent from the rest of the page. C is going to be the information part. I want this to be able to scroll independent from A and B. So when the content of C runs off the bottom of the page, the user can scroll down, but A is still left statically on the top of the page.

I hope I explained this well enough to be understood. I would appreciate any help. Any question about what I am trying to do, please ask.

Firstly, I apologize. I don't see what your talking about, and your diagram is sketchy.

But what I think you need are tables, and an iframe.

Check out W3Schools.com. Awesome web devloping website.

Sorry about that picture. It work when I am typing the message, I guess when it gets posted they take out the spaces. It is a hard thing to describe. Thank You for the link.

You should use frames to accomplish what you want. Here is an example code for the frameset:

<frameset cols='20%,*' border='0'>
<frame src='menu.htm'>
<frameset rows='20%,*' border='0'>
<frame src='picture.htm' noresize>
<frame src='CCC.htm'>
</frameset>
</frameset>

If you need more help, just shout!

If you know CSS, i'd recommend using that, gives you a lot of flexibility.
