Hey all..I just thought I would do an inline frame tutorial..
This tutorial can be used for the Program called Adobe Dreamweaver CS3..I don't know about CS4..haven't used the program yet...

First:
Create your new page and then click on Insert----->Table...
Then when you go to table click on 1 row..2 columns..
1 Column is for the jump menu... the other is for the inline frame...

Second:
Go into code view..and you should see something like this...
Code:
<body>
<table width="200" border="1" cellpadding="10">
  <tr>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
  </tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
On the second row of where it says <td> copy this code in between the two tags..
Code:
<iframe name="I1" width="714" height="581" src="your_initial_page.html" border="0" frameborder="0">
Your browser does not support inline frames or is currently configured not to display inline frames.</iframe>

"your_initial_page.html" could be like a page called start.html..DO NOT name the file as index..as that is the page that the jump menu and the inline frame will be on...
Now make a new page...and nameit start.html or what ever you want to name it to be the main page the inline frame views when they first hit the page..
Do the page design you want the browser to view..etc..

Third:
Now for the jump menu..and you may notice that the table may seem a bit crowded..just adjust it a bit to make it the size you want the browser to view it as...
Go to design view once again..now click on the table to the left..or which ever you want the jump menu to display..
Go to Insert---->Form---->Jump Menu..
Now click on the item add...add a few items..I'll show you how to add links...
Now you have your jump menu in..

Fourth:
to add links..do this

Code:
<a href="link.php">Something Here</a>
That will show it as a link..
and make sure you do the <br />

Add links to it..and then you're done..
If you need help please post and i will do my best to help you..I am sure I could..I do it so easily and it just seems hard to type it all out..
Lol
If this helped..gimme some rep..
Edit:
Add them where the items are supposed to be...
