FRAMES
Some of the best features of this program are the 'Assistants'. These are the dialogues - not wizards - which give you the choices you need to do a particular function within an HTML document. The Frames Assistant is one of these. This feature comes in handy because frames tend to sometimes be tedious and this lessens the burden of the design process. However, there still needs to be good planning ahead of time so that the data you enter into the Frame Assistant will be meaningful.

There are technically two sections to the Frames Assistant. The first one deals with Frames in general. This is where you choose the border color and size and the orientation of your frames on the HTML page. The border color & size are self-explanatory. The orientation means that you are choosing whether your main frames focus is in rows or columns.

The second section deals with the aspects or properties of the frames themselves. As you will notice, at the bottom, there are 4 numbered buttons. Each of the features you are going to choice in this section need to be made for each frame you design. Once you make your choices, you click on the corresponding frame number to 'save' your choices for that frame into memory. Keep in mind that if you make new choices and click the same number, you overwrite your first batch of choices.

Also, it's best to design your frames in order, 1 through 4 because it's usually easier to keep track, mentally, of what you are actually designing. The URL box allows you to either type in your html page for the frame, or browse your hard disk for it. The Subdirectory box is only necessary if the file you choose is not in the root directory where the main frames page is. It is totally optional. As any frame designer knows, you need a name for each frame to act as a target for links. The Name box is where you assign your fram a name. Next, you assign the percentage of the screen the current frame is to take. All that's left now is the Scroll and Frame Border boxes. In the Scroll box, you have three choices, Auto, Yes and No. In the Frame Border box, you only have two choice, Yes or No.

Once you have completed your choices for your first frame, click the '1' button to save your choices into memory. This will clear the text entry boxes and allow you to make new choice for your next frame. Repeat the above for each of the frames you are designing. Once you have selected all your frames choices, click. The 'Apply' button. This action will put all your information on your page. It will even put in a section (which you need to change) which, for people using a non-frames-enabled browser, will either tell them what you want, or give them an HTML page to view.

In the Insert Pull-Down Menu, you have many other Frames capabilities. They are as follows:
FrameSet With Rows - This allows you to add another frameset with rows
FrameSet With Columns - This allows you to add another frameset with columns (duh!)

New FrameSource - gives you the following:
<FRAME src="enterurlhere" Name="name" Scrolling="yes">
Your job will be to replace "EnterURLHere" with the actual URL you will be using, the name you are assigning that FrameSource, and whether or not you want it to scroll.

Name - allows you to enter a name for your FrameSource
Target - allows you to enter "Target=" along with the name of the target
Attributes
Margin Width & Margin Height - these items do pretty much what they say they do. The Margin Width sets the left margin, horizontally (in pixels) and the Margin Height sets the top margin, in pixels, vertically.

No Resize - This gives you the no resize command for the particular frame it's in.
NoFrames Tag- This gives you the following:
<NOFRAMES>
<BODY>
This is where you put the message for those people who don 't have frames
</BODY> </NOFRAMES>
