Re: Selecting number of news items on frontpage

David Siegel in "Creating Killer Web Sites" 1st edition said frames are good only for show details of a list of objects like recipes, products or in your case news! You can have a frameset with three frames say top, left and main (center). Put some ad on the top , the headlines of your news on the left and its bodies on the main frame . You can limit the number of headlines using the keyword "limit" ( see MySQL manual ) and put a anchor tag in every headline to a php script passing the "news_id" and show the selected new on the main frame.
