FRAMES

NEW TAGS:

Frames are used if you want to display more than one HTML document in a single window. Frames divide the browser window into separate areas, each of which loads an HTML document. Frames are similar to tables, because they divide the screen up into a grid.

To create a set of frames, you do not use the <body> tag. Instead, youdivide the window using the frame set tag:

<FRAMESET

ROWS="value,value" or COLS="value,value" (not both!)
BORDER=#
FRAMEBORDER="yes/no"
BORDERCOLOR="color"
FRAMESPACING=#>

For each row or column, you insert a frame tag. The "src" attribute references the HTML documet the will load.

<FRAME

NAME="name"
SRC="filename"
MARGINWIDTH=#
MARGINHEIGHT=#
SCROLLING="yes/no"
NORESIZE>

</FRAME>

Then you close your frame:

</FRAMESET>

 

NOTE: If you want a row frame to split into column frame to split into rows, you insert another frameset tag, followed by frame tags for each frame.

Also at the bottom of the page, you insert:

<NOFRAMES>This web site requires a frames-enabled browser. Please download the latest verison of either Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer.</NOFRAMES>
