My Navigation Bar

Imbedded Frames

These pages are a simple example of imbedding FrameSet pages inside another FrameSet.

expbul2d.gif (852 bytes) First I created a 2 frame top/bottom (Header) FrameSet. In the top frame I created a page that would contain a banner and section navigation buttons. The bottom frame I left blank (uninitialized) at this time.

The left frame contains a set of navigation buttons for loading pages into the right frame. I changed the default targeting of these pages so they load where they should. Using Frame Properties I renamed the right frame from 'main' to 'display', and in the Page Properties for the left frame I changed the default target frame to 'display'.

expbul2d.gif (852 bytes) After creating my section (left/right) FrameSet pages, I went back to my main (top/bottom) FrameSet page with the FrontPage Editor. I then set the initial page of the bottom frame to my default section's FrameSet page. I then added a navigation button in the top frame for each section, and linked the button to the FrameSet page of the section.
