    This is still a big work in progress but what do you think so far all graphics are custom designed by me

    I think your on the right track.

    That main header picture is sooo skewed, it almost makes me nauseous.

    I would suggest fixing that.

    Maybe a more readable font as well?

    sorry about the header it adjust to the size of your window so it might not come across right. I just adjusted it to a set size hopefully a little less nauseating LOL

    Hi.

    Ditch the frames.

    I was tinkin around with a new program I found today called Flux. This is a layout they have already (so no, I did not program this..just giving credit where tis due ;) )

    This will give you the exact same layout with a much cleaner code, no funky scroll bars in the frames, etc.

    save this as index.html
    Code:

    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
    <html>
    <head>
        <link href="styles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" >
        <title>Python Paradise</title>
    </head>
    <body>
           
    <div id="container" >
    <div id="top" >
    <h1>Header</h1>
    </div>
    <div id="leftnav" >
    <p>
    Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit, sed diam nonummy nibh euismod tincidunt ut.
    </p>
    </div>
    <div id="content" >
    <h2>Subheading</h2>
    <p>

    Footer
    </div>
    </div>

    </body>
    </html>

    save this as styles.css
    Code:

    #container {
            width:90%;
            margin-top:10px;
            margin-right:auto;
            margin-bottom:10px;
            margin-left:auto;
            background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);
            color:rgb(51, 51, 51);
            line-height:130%;
            border:1px solid gray;
    }

    #top {
            padding-top:0.5em;
            padding-right:0.5em;
            padding-bottom:0.5em;
            padding-left:0.5em;
            background-color:rgb(221, 221, 221);
            border-bottom:1px solid gray;
    }

    #top h1 {
            padding-top:0px;
            padding-right:0px;
            padding-bottom:0px;
            padding-left:0px;
            margin-top:0px;
            margin-right:0px;
            margin-bottom:0px;
            margin-left:0px;
    }

    #leftnav {
            float:left;
            width:160px;
            margin-top:0px;
            margin-right:0px;
            margin-bottom:0px;
            margin-left:0px;
            padding-top:1em;
            padding-right:1em;
            padding-bottom:1em;
            padding-left:1em;
    }

    #content {
            margin-left:200px;
            padding-top:1em;
            padding-right:1em;
            padding-bottom:1em;
            padding-left:1em;
            max-width:36em;
            border-left:1px solid gray;
    }

    #footer {
            clear:both;
            margin-top:0px;
            margin-right:0px;
            margin-bottom:0px;
            margin-left:0px;
            padding-top:0.5em;
            padding-right:0.5em;
            padding-bottom:0.5em;
            padding-left:0.5em;
            color:rgb(51, 51, 51);
            background-color:rgb(221, 221, 221);
            border-top:1px solid gray;
    }

    #leftnav p {
            margin-top:0px;
            margin-right:0px;
            margin-bottom:1em;
            margin-left:0px;
    }

    #content h2 {
            margin-top:0px;
            margin-right:0px;
            margin-bottom:0.5em;
            margin-left:0px;
    }

    Go with a clean, easy to read navigation. The red on black/brown does not mix well at all.

    You should definitely read up on some HTML and CSS goodies over at w3schools.com.

    Thanks for the code Ill play around with it but the main reason for the frames was to keep my Link and banner button in the same spot and only move the "subheading" section when the links are clicked. I dont speak german(i think that is the language) so can this be accomplished and how. Thanks for the advise again.

    That "Lorem Ipsum" is nothing but filler text - it isn't meant to be read.

    I understand the want to keep your header banner visible at all times - I used to think the same way when I toyed with frames. But in reality, it isn't very pretty.

    Go to Barnes & Noble and check out Sexy Web Design.

    It helps a lot to see what kinds of trends are going on and how web sites have advanced over the years.

    And - maybe the nail in the coffin... Frames Suck most of the time - published in 1996 :O
