You -Can- Do Frames with Webtv!

~~I've taken the tutorial out of frames to keep things simple~~

Making a Frames Homepage with Webtv is not as difficult as a lot of people would have you believe. It just takes time, knowledge of basic HTML and patience. ~grin~

Step One

The first thing you need to know, is that a Frames Page does NOT use a <<>body> tag.

Here are a couple of new HTML tags you need to learn.

<<>frameset cols="#,#">

<<>frameset rows="#,#">

<<>frame src="url">

<<>frame src="url" name="name">

<<>a href="url" target="name">

<<>a href="url" target="_top">

Definitions:

<<>frameset> does all the dividing of the window - just tell it "how" you want it divided. For instance:

<<>frameset cols="120,*"> tells the computer that you want the window divided into two columns; the first column is 120 pixels wide and the second column takes up the rest of the window. (More on that later!)

<<>frameset rows="90,*"> tell the computer that you want the window dividid into two rows; the first row is 90 pixels long and the second row takes up the rest of the window. (More on that later!)

<<>frame src="url"> tells the computer what "file" you want to put in that location.

<<>frame src="url" name="name"> gives that "file" a name to refer to later.

<<>a href="url" target="name"> tells what window you want a url to show up in.

<<>a href="url" target="_top"> tells the computer to completely leave the frames page and go to another site.
