RainForest Frames Samples
- This page will give you access to Frames
and how you can use them to improve your website.
-
- Frames divide the Web browser's display into windows,
each of which may contain a separate, scrollable page. A group of frames is called a frame
set. A frame set is a special web page that defines the size and location of each window.
-
- Each frame in a frame set has an identifying name, such
as upperleft. Each frame is also assigned a source URL, which is a hyperlink to a page to
display initially when the frame set is loaded in a Web browser.
Use a frame set when you want the contents of one part
of the Web browser's display to remain unchanged while the contents of other parts change
based on hyperlinks the the user selects. A simple example of this is a table of contents
frame set. One frame can display a set of hyperlinks (the table of contents), and a second
frame can display the target pages of the hyperlinks. A user can click on the hyperlinks
in the first frame and watch the contents of the second frame change.
Because it is a Web page, a frame set is loaded by a
Web browser when a user clicks a hyperlink to it. When a user clicks a hyperlink to a
frame set, the Web browser will load the frame set and then load the target page specified
by the source URL for each frame in the frame set. Typically, each page referenced by a
source URL is a Web page, but the page can also be another frame set, in which case, the
initial frame is the parent frame of all the frames in the new frame set.
When you create a hyperlink from a page loaded in one
frame of a frame set, you can associate the hyperlink with a target frame, which
is usually the name of a frame in the same frame set. If a frame set is not loaded at
runtime and a hyperlink has an associated target frame name, some Web browsers create a
new window to display the page referenced by the hyperlink.
This is the code to create a very simple frameset for a
frame with 2 columns, where the righthand column has 2 rows:
preview="The frameset on this page can be
edited with the FrontPage Frames Wizard; use the Open or Open With option from the
FrontPage Explorer's edit menu. This page must be saved to a web before you can edit it
with the Frames Wizard. Browsers that don't support frames will display the contents of
this page, without these instructions. Use the Frames Wizard to specify an alternate page
for browsers without frames."

support them.
