using html code to make frames

hi im wanting to use frontpage to make frames for a new look on my forum and im just wondering if any of you can help me, im wanting all the buttons(forum, calendar,PM etc) down the left hand side with a header and maybe a footer. With the menu im also wanting to put category buttons in the menu as well and when someone clicks on the category button another menu opens up and has a list of the threads(as buttons of course) and also if someone makes a new thread a button appears in the menu etc. If this is at all possible is there anyone out there that can help me with this idea??
The only way i have been able to do this so far is by uploading it to my partners homepage acc via my ISP http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~megreen/ it should be all working, im hoping there is another way to do this as if i do it my way i have to reopen my .com and redirect the forum itself lol(The main problem im having is the whole make a new thread, have a button appear bit lol) but yea if you guys understand what im trying to do and can help me then many many thanks
