Help with menus

I have created a simple web, and not using the menus based on navigation
structure, have just created some simple links to frames pages. On the
frames pages, I'd like to use the menu based on navigation structure to get
back to the main page. But when I enter the type of menu, like child pages
and top, nothing appears on my frames pages where I inserted the menu.
What's going on?

Here is the link to the page:

Thanks.

A Link Bar Based On Navigation Structure won't display
any child and top pages if you haven't diagrammed any
child and top pages in Navigation View.

The way the navigation structure is set up is like this:

Main page

page1 page2 page3 page4

This is still far from clear. Suppose, however, that:

1. Your home page is a frameset named default.htm.
2. This frameset contains three frames named top, menu, and main.
3. These frames display pages named toppage.htm, menupage.htm, and
mainpage.htm.

If you added a Link Bar Based On Navigation View to toppage.htm, child
links would only be visible if Navigation View contained this
structure:

toppage.htm
|
.-----------+-----+-----+-----------.
| | | |
other1.htm other2.htm other3.htm other4.htm

All in all, Navigation view and framesets don't work well together. I
suppose that the reason you want to use Link Bars is to get the fancy
buttons, but you're probably better off using Link Bar Based On Custom
Links components for that.
