Making a page for a frame

HTML tag <FRAMESET COLS= ROWS= ></FRAMESET>, <FRAME SRC= >, <NOFRAMES></NOFRAMES>

Creates a page to be displayed in a frame. Also displays any pages that have already been created, in their respective frames.

1. A page to be displayed in a frame must be prepared in advance. If you want a page to appear as if divided into two sections, you actually have to prepare two completely separate pages. Similarly, if you want it to appear as if divided into three, you have to prepare three pages.

2. From the menu, select "File" -> "New."

=> The dialog box for creating a new page appears.

3. Click the [Frame] tab. Select the way in which you want to divide the frame. Then, click the [OK] button.

=> An empty frame is created.

4. Click the frame. From the menu, select "File" -> "Open in Frame."

=> The dialog box for selecting HTML files appears.

5. Select the page that you prepared beforehand. Click the [Open] button.

=> The contents of the page appear in the frame.

6. Open the pages into the other frames in exactly the same way.

Hint Dividing a frame further

Click the frame to be divided. On the "Frame" toolbar, input 2 as the value of "Frame Split Number." When you click >,, it is divided into two horizontally.

Hint Using a frame page as the top page of a site

Make a frame page before making a site. Then, you can create a site simply by specifying this page as the top page. (For details of how to create a site using an existing page, see "Create a site".
