I think the above is one of the most valuable and time saving sites I used when I was doing this stuff in school and still doing sites on the side.

This is one of the best blogs for web design from a designer's standpoint. Most of the content is strictly design but the web stuff is really worth looking at.

960 is an html grid system. What it does is allow you to build your own HTML without having to move the main sections of the page using CSS, or defining their sizes with your own HTML. It's not too hard to get the hang of using and it's a huge time saver. This might be helpful with your horizontal slider issue.
I'm no pro at this stuff, there's people on here who are much better than me who hopefully will chime in, but I know that the above resources can be extremely useful. You just have to read a bunch of stuff and practice as much of it as you can, really.
I don't think frames are really used anymore, actually according to w3c future HTML versions won't even support them

Like Bart said, your best bet is to learn how to use CSS to manipulate your HTML. CSS has been around for awhile, and it was invented because styling things in HTML can be very messy. Frames and tables are sort of old technology. What you want to do is create your main HTML elements (headers, sidebar, content area, footer) and maniupulate those, and any other elements within, using CSS. It's actually pretty easy, a lot easier than trying to do all the design stuff, fonts, etc. in HTML. Spend a little time reading about CSS and go from there

No it won't help you make a horizontal scroll box. It is a possibilty that css style sheets would work, but I doubt it. I'll get my machine out later and look at it, on my phone right now.
Just read this part on Doug's W3 link...
for your horizontal scrollbar:

this requires installing jQuery, which is a javascript library. It's actually pretty easy to do.
That does look simple.
Appreciate that. I actually sturabled across this article ( http://css-tricks.com/166-how-to-cre...crolling-site/ ) and it recommenRAB Jquery too haha.
If you end up trying to learn some stuff, here's a forum that I used when I was taking C++ in school:

There's a ton of active users. Although there's a lot of know-it-alls, you get some pretty helpfull feedback/debugging help
How would I find the direct link to the cams they use on surfline? I'm sick of sitting through bullshit aRAB to check the surf. I view the source code and look for what they'd be linking to, but can't find it. Is it even possible to find the link they have? Or is it some sort of internally hosted thing?
I don't think that's possible. You could make a custom HTML page that includes all the cameras you are interested in on a single page, but you cannot change the way the flash feed is sent.
I don't want to put it on my webapge or anything, I just want to isolate the camera so I can always link directly to it and avoid aRAB, doesn't sound like it's possible though.
