I am so close to being done creating the website for the
Abyss 2.0 Beta web server documentation but my frames
are acting up , the nav menu won't connect to the top part.

No Im not , here's why !

10% + 90% = 100%

15% + 85% = 100%

---------------------------------------

They both use 100% , im not missing 5%

I think it would look much better with it connected together but
the sad part is that I already tried a blue border and it makes
things worse by adding a line. Any other ideas ?

Kill the top frame, kill the frame spacing, and add frame resize. Have any Macromedia products? Check how they layout their documentation.

And the blue is questionable.

I don't want my documentation to look like Abyss Web Server's
and other types , I want it to look like an ordinary website , take a
good look at that layout , doesn't that look nice ? I think it does !

Alright, if you want.

Anyway, the code is "framespacing=0" (check my website for an example).

I have just one last request to ask you , also you get a first look
at the main area of the website , what I want to know is , when you
click on New Features , I want it to load the features page but I also
want to add a new top header by making it say Abyss Web Server: 2.0
Beta | Features at the very top of the page , how can I do this ?

Menu -> New Features -> Page Content -> New Top Header

The new website content is located at
http://os17fan.cjb.net/abyss2/

Edit: Please help me with this , im so close to being
done with the website , just a little more help. Thank You!

Well the easy thing would be to use a new frameset. Would you be willing to do that?

If you don't want to, I can help you out with making a javascript that will do it.

Well the "Features" would link to a new frameset that used the same side page, but a new top one (possibly "top_features.html") and obviously a new content one.

You can do this, or I'll help you with the Javascript. Oh, you can also use PHP to do it also (as you see, there are many paths for the same goal).

Can you write the code out for me , the frameset.

Thank You for your generous help !

The features page would link to a page called "features.html" (which it is). Place this in the features.html page:

That did not work , I tried what you said and
nothing , whats the javascript code , I want it ?

Note: Just doing that will show a new
frame on the features page !

Oh, I forgot to mention something. Change the features link from "target=main" to "target=_parent."
