Unfortunately, not all browsers will view pages in frames. Frames are really nice when you have lots of information and you don't want people having to wait on new pages to keep loading. The idea is to break the current window into partitions so it cuts down on the loading time.
I have a few pages that use frames. Once you get used to working with them, you'll see how frames can be very useful.
Well, here's the most basic of framed pages:
<FRAMESET cols="50%,50%">
<FRAME SRC="URL HERE" NAME="Frame1">
<FRAME SRC="URL HERE" NAME="Frame2">
</FRAMESET>
|
|
<FRAMESET cols="50%,50%">
<FRAMESET rows="50%,50%">
<FRAME SRC="URL HERE" NAME="Frame1">
<FRAME SRC="URL HERE" NAME="Frame2">
</FRAMESET>
<FRAMESET rows="50%,50%">
<FRAME SRC="URL HERE" NAME="Frame3">
<FRAME SRC="URL HERE" NAME="Frame4">
</FRAMESET></FRAMESET>

Of course, if you don't really care to have the exact frame sizes, you can simply replace the %'s with a *. So as in the first example, instead of it saying 50%,50%, it would just be 50%,*. This tells the computer to make one frame 50% and the second frame will be whatever is left over. Simple huh!
Now there are simple little things you can add to your code just to be a little different. When making a row or column, add "noresize" and this will prevent the viewer from readjusting the frame windows. Or, how about the scrolling feature? If you don't want to have a scollerbar, just add.....scrolling="no". If you don't care about it, the browser will automatically make on if the page needs it.
This ends our basic frames tutoria. Please select another option from the left side menu. |
