Alright, i used frames for my webpage and I also used something called image mapping, with frontpage. When I load it up, and try to get the imagemapping in the frame to work, it loads the page, but u cant see it anywhere!

What do you mean? Are you not seeing your image-map when you load it up in Frontpage, or when you load it up in a web browser?

Show us your image mapping code, and frameset code and we can help you out Im sure

<frameset framespacing="0" border="false" frameborder="0" cols="150,0%">
<frame name="links" src="links.htm" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0"
noresize target="main">
<frame name="main" src="welcome.htm" scrolling="auto" noresize>
<noframes>
<body topmargin="0" leftmargin="0">

<img src="images/main2.jpg" WIDTH="670"
HEIGHT="800">

-several problems with your image map:
all of that image map in there is set inside a comment ( )
also, you need to give the map a name, and call the map inside the img tag:

<map name="map1">
<area coords="46,235,125,246" shape="rect" href="whatever.htm>
</map>

<img src="something.gif" usemap="#map1">

the image map code that you posted above, is inside a comment, which means the browser does not read it. that is the big problem that makes your image map code not work.

Also you got a problem in your frameset tag.
<frameset framespacing="0" border="false" frameborder="0" cols="150,0%">

cols="150,0%" <-- this means you 150% for first frame and 0% for second. You cant use more than 100% unless you are making a page that will scroll sideways and now down as most pages on net.

If you frame to be 150 pixes and not % and other frame to be whatever is left. You should use this cols="150,*" Otherwise, use this cols="100%,*", but it defeats the purpouse of frames because your fist frame will take the whole screen and second frame wont show.

Hope this helps.
