    Hi!
    GREAT site!!
    But i do have a question. I'm using DreamWeaver MX 2004 when i edit the
    templates.
    Now what i wounder is, how do i do to make the links from the icon-buttons
    open next to the buttons in the same window?
    As it is now it always opens either a new window oc overwrites the one where
    the link is. (Overwrites the whole page)
    Is there some way to get the link to open in the same windows
    without the buttons etc disapear?

    (Sorry for my bad english, but i'm swedish :))

    You can do this with frames, but I recommend you not to use it.
    Frames were used back in 1996-1999 to only reload a part of the website to save bandwidth.

    The reason why almost nobody is using it anymore is because search engines get lost in your website and people come to your website and see only your content page with no menu buttons.

    Bandwidth is not a problem anymore and even if it was using an external stylesheet with CSS saves you much more bandwidth.

    The best way to do it is to copy the page replace your content for that page and link to it. It's that easy no need to use frames.

    The size of the menu is so small that a reload is as fast as not reloading it.
