Frames Editor Interface Details
The Frames editor contains the following items:
In the Frames Section...
These options allow you to choose various parameters for individual
frames.
-
Source URL: The URL of the HTML document that will be
displayed in the frame. Note: Frame content is not displayed
when you are editing the frames; you must use File > Preview to view
the frames with the content.
-
Name: The name that you give the frame. You use frame names
when you set targets in other HTML pages; a target tells the browser
what frame to display links in.
-
Margins: Allows you to define margins on top or on the sides
of your frame. If you don't wish to define a margin, click the Unspecified
check box.
-
Resizable radio buttons: Clicking Yes allows the frame to be
resized by the user.
-
Scrollbars radio buttons: Allows you to decide to have
scroll bars turned on, off, or on if needed.
-
Shared Borders radio buttons: Allows you to choose whether
the frame should display a border. For a border to be hidden, all
adjoinging frames must turn off the common border.
In the Frameset Section...
These options allow you to choose various parameters for framesets
(collections of frames).
-
Contained Borders radio buttons: Allows you to choose
whether to show frame borders in the frameset.
-
Heights/Widths: Allows you to set the height and width of
the frames.
In the Top Level Section...
These options allow you to adjust the frameset hierarchy, navigate
through the hierarchy, and add and delete new frames.
-
Border Width: Allows you to set the width of the frame
borders.
-
Select buttons: Allows you to move about in the frame
hierarchy. Parent moves you up the frame hierarchy. If you
start at a frame and press Parent, the enclosing Frameset is
selected. If you press Parent again, you get the frameset
enclosing that, and so on.
Top Level selects the top frameset in the frame hierarchy,
so that you can manipulate variables such as border width for all the
frames in the document. To change a frames document to a non-frame
document (to remove all frames), click the Top Level button
and then click Delete.
-
Add buttons: Allows you to add frames. You can add both rows
and columns before and after the current row/column.
-
Delete button: deletes the currently selected frame.
