What are frames
Frames
divide a web page into different areas so that different HTML files can
be loaded into specified areas in the same Web page.
What is the use
Frames commonly are used to splitup a Web page
into areas reserved for navigation and content for a page. Also an area
often is reserved for commercial use or banners. The advantage of these
frames is that fixed elements of a page only have to be loaded once.
Frameset
A frameset is a file that defines a web page with
frames. A frameset stores information about the size and location of the
page's frames along with the names of the files that should be loaded
as the content for each of the frames.
What a user sees as a single web page with two
frames is actually three separate files: the frameset file, and two HTML
files containing the content that appears inside the frames.
Design
The first step is to make a design for the division
into frames. Dimensions are not given in centimetres or inches, but in
pixels, since ths is the measurement unit the monitor also uses. Start
