The code for the frameset
A
frameset is a very simple HTML page, containing information about the
the amount of frames, their sizes, their names and their appearance.
In
red additional notes. Start with the
standard HTML <tags>
<html>
<head>
<title>frametest</title>
</head>
Inbetween
</head> and <body> the
<frameset> defintion. In the opening tag the size of the different
frames has to be written in pixel values. The * indicates a variable value,
the given values will be fixed. With framespacing set to 0 the frames
will fit without a space.
<frameset rows="120,*" cols="150,*" framespacing="0">
Now
the separate frames are described.
<frame src="logo.html giving the HTML file
to be placed in this frame name="logo" the
name of the frame scrolling="NO" no
scrollingbar will appear along the side, even when the information will
flow over, so it is a matter of design to keep all information within
the frame frameborder="NO" gives
no borders noresize makes the frame fixed>
<frame src="banner.html" name="banner" scrolling="NO"
frameborder="NO" noresize>
<frame src="navigation.html" name="navigation"
scrolling="NO" frameborder="NO" noresize>
<frame src="content.html" name="content" scrolling="AUTO"
this frame contains all kinds of information and
here the "surfer" needs to have influence on the size
frameborder="NO">
</frameset>
<noframes> for those who still have browsers
that do not support frames, a message can be placed here inbetween the
body tags
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
<H2>Sorry, you need a browser that supports frames</H2>
</body></noframes>
</html>
Mostly a page like this is the opening page of your site and therefore it is better to give this file the name "index.html".
The src=file.HTML
After producing the frameset, all four separate source files hve to be
designed and written. Take care that the elements not exceed the dimensions
as indicated in the "rows" and "cols" definitions.
Action
Open the texteditor and construct a frameset and the four source HTML
files. Change some settings, take different background colours, type some
text inside. Save the files and open the frameset file in the browser.
