In our sample page we have used two of the possible ways of specifying frame size. There is no hard or fast rule as to which you should use -- your choice will be determined by your plans for your page and you can use one or a combination of them.
You can specify your page divisions as a fixed pixel value, a percentage of the browser window or the remainder of the browser window.
For example: Rows = 200,100,* creates three rows, one 200 pixels deep, one 100 pixels deep and one the height of the remainder of the browser window.
Cols = 100, 50%,* creates three columns, one 100 pixels deep, one 50 percent of the width of the window and the last the width of the remainder of the browser window.
Rows = *,4*, Rows = 20%,*, Rows = 20%,80% each of these settings creates two rows, the second being four times as high as the first.
Interesting frame sites
These sites have some helpful frames tutorials:
The Netscape Frames Tutorial(tm) -- NewbieNET:
http://www.newbie.net/frames/Ralf Muehlen's Small Tutorial on Frames: http://kidshealth.org/~muehlen/papers/frame/
Netscape's own online frame reference: http://home.netscape.com/assist/net_sites/frames.html
The English Composition #1 site offers an interesting use of frames: http://jaring.nmhu.edu/pendidik/english/comp/c1/comp1.htm
Frames can work effectively in online tutorials too. A favourite site of ours with good frames use is Web Pages that suck: http://www.webpagesthatsuck.com/home.html.
And the I Hate Frames Club is for everyone interested in ridding the Web of frame-based sites and for anyone who just wants to know what all the fuss is about: http://www.wwwvoice.com/hatefrm.html
