"<table></table>" and "<frameset><frame></frame></frameset>" in perl/tk

3 Feb 2004

      Dear my friends...

Anybody would be so kind telling me what is similar in
perl/tk to arrange the location of a form written in
perl/tk? I want a nice look for my perl/tk
application.
Somewhat like this below:
1. Name      : <place to type-in>
2. Address   : <place to type-in>
3. Telephone : <place to type-in>

I have made the main menu of my application with
"Menubutton". And I want if the user click on the menu
that what the user see is only the aimed application
displayed on the determined area (under the main menu)
but the menu has no change in position and form.
Somewhat like on HTML:
===
<frameset><frame name=mainmenu
src=mainmenu.html></frame><frame
name=display></frame></frameset>
===

<table>
<ol>
<tr><td colspan=2>Main menu :</td></tr>
<tr><td>1.</td><td><a href="biodata.html"
target="display">biodata</a></td></tr>
</table>
===
So the mainmenu will not have any change only the
content of the display frame will have change as the
user work with this application main menu.

Thank you very much in advance.
