That site doesn't use frames.

Search the document for "frameset" and you won't find it. There is "iframe" but that's different. The site uses "div" elements, not frames, to achieve its look.

Teambox is not using a complete frameset, they are using div and iframes. The iframes are only used for ads, the rest is divs.

To mimic the page, you can use a page table layout if you want for most of what they do. This looks like a Macromedia or Macromedia plus FrontPage deved page. I would say start simpler, learn tables and how to use content in cells and rows and column structures in tables.

Basicly, a frameset is a master table with calls to separate html pages for each frame's content. IF you use a pure table structure, and want some thigns totally common, you can give each page that code that is common from a template, then add the unique stuff. Framesets extend the table idea by letting each frame component or pane be independently fed, so that the real modern browser in most cases can simply refresh only the changed frame. Not all browsers can do this right. So, for my sites, I do not use framesets, instead I hand code common content templates and then add unique content.

BUT, to understand framesets, you indeed have to know how tables work FIRST in order not to fubar more often than you get good results. So, start with tables and and templates, then work up to framesets.

can you make it so the frames invisable? I like the idea of frameset but i do not want to see the lines that are there.
