Beginner, help with Fixed Width Webpage and Frameset


i'm relatively new html/css , dreamweaver.  took year long class 8 years ago don't remember much.

 

i'm trying create common webpage style , haven't found on how it.  i'd similar this: http://www.ewedding.com/sites/demo:206:206

 

what can't find out how create background page/frame has variable width, , has fixed width centered page, frameset.  99% of webpages similar (not frameset) , have text links @ bottom copywright or something.  i'm having problems frameset, have top frame across whole page , split main , left below that.  left fixed , main page fluid width after set rowcol selection width.  code doesn't seem have properties width within <frameset> </frameset>

anything learned 8 years ago obsolete  web has changed much.  

 

frames , framesets disaster.  so w3c saw fit remove them html5 web standards.   please don't think using frames.

#1 review code basics.  you'll need working knowledge of html & css use dreamweaver.

     html & css tutorials - http://w3schools.com/

 

#2 use pre-built css layout project.  dw has quite few starter pages can use right away. 

     file > new > blank > html > layout... 

     recommend 1-col, fixed, centered, header & footer for first project.

 

#3 read articles (f1) on dreamweaver templates.  dwts better frames managing site.

 

 

 

good luck,
