Links
In
the previous chapter the method of constucting a link was explained. At
the navigation side of this example links are also used, but now as a
tool to open a HTML page in the "content" frame of the frame
set.
In
the HTML file "navigation.html" a simple navigation is constructed.
Open in the text editor the "navigation.html" file and add in
the body the following lines:
Home
Location maps
Tourist maps
Imaginary maps
These
four entries are part of the navigation system to be constructed. "Home"
refers to the already existing "content.html", the opening page
with some information on "LovelyMaps". The other three can refer
to three other HTML files, eg. "location.html", "tourist.html"
and "imagin.html".The code for "linking" is:
<a href="content.html">Home</a>
that will open the "content.html" file unfortunately in the
same frame as the navigation is in. By adding the target frame of where
the "content.html" file should be opened in, the problem is
solved. The code then is:
<a href="content.html" target="content">Home</a>.
The coding for the others is not too difficult:
<a href="location.html" target="content">Location
maps </a>
<a href="tourist.html" target="content">Tourist
maps </a>
<a href="imagin.html" target="content">Imaginary
maps </a>
And now it is only a matter of creating the different HTML files.
Action
Open the text editor and construct the "navigation.html" file
in the way as described, also give some content to the four referring
HTML files. Save the files and open the frameset file in the browser.
