I recently took some online lessons in webpage design and have some knowledge of frames.

In Frames one can target a LINK to a specific location on the web page (frame) by naming that frame. Is it possible to do the same thing in cells of a regular html tables by naming cells and not having to use frames.

Thank you,

Not that I know of! Well not as you want I don't think.

Best you might do is use named anchors which would at LEAST target a given row in a table but not I don't think a specific cell if you have more than one in a row - not that I have tried that but named anchors work by SCROLLING vertically so a row would seem best you can achieve.

If a row was given in one cell content and called by http://www.yoursite/yourpage#rowone.html that could work and bring that row into view.

IMO I do not think frames are good - I used to use them but they complicate things I feel and also do not help when it comes to SEO aspects (search engine optimization). If you really must use frames then I think another solution may be needed for what you want - kpac, any ideas?Yeah, ChrisXPPro has it RIGHT. Frames are not so great. I use them for my own use when I am too lazy to do it some other way. If you use and advanced tool like Dream weaver or what ever you do what you want with with templates that use CSS and all that stuff. That way you whole site has the same look and feel without the need to remember all the little details.
If you want to pick something off of another site and put it in a table, you would want to have the permission to do it. Most often you want a picture or even a video. The sites that do that stuff give you the embedded code that you can stick into a cell as an object. Make sure the cell is big enough.On my site http://9pmgeek.com you will find a page that has many embeded videos in a table.
Even though frames is considered 'old school' web design, it's still a format that is constant in webdesign. I think it's a good idea to be familiar with them at minimum, so when you encounter them you know what to do with them.
