 CMed Help Contents

CMed is a 32-bit Hypertext Markup Language editor which encompasses the HTML 2 and HTML 3.2 standards, as well as a majority of the Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer HTML extensions.

Every menu, dialog box, and toolbar button in CMed indicates which particular standard it refers to, so you know exactly what type of HTML document you are creating at all times.  This help file contains detailed help on every HTML element that CMed supports, so help is always an F1 keypress away.

CMed is Shareware.  You may evaluate it for a period of 30 days, after which you must either register it, or remove it from your system.  Use of CMed beyond the 30 day evaluation period is strictly illegal.  Use of this software is an acceptance of this license agreement.  If you do not agree with the terms of this license agreement, you must remove the CMed software from your system immediately.

Frameset Element (Netscape)

HTML code:	<FRAMESET>..</FRAMESET>

Closing tag:	Required

Required attributes:	rows and/or cols

Frames enable document writers to divide Web pages into a number of scrollable regions.  The frameset element is the main container in a frame document.  In a frame document the standard HTML document is modified as shown in the example below.  The frameset element can only contain other frameset elements (yes, nesting is possible), frame elements and noframe elements.

Example:

<HTML>

<HEAD>

</HEAD>

<FRAMESET rows=”50%,*”>

<FRAME src=”frame1.html”>

<FRAME src=”frame2.html”>

</FRAMESET>

</HTML>

Attributes

rows -	This attribute consists of a comma separated list of numbers, representing the height of each row within the frameset.  These numbers can represent pixel values.  However, percentage values and relative scaling values can be represented by attaching the % and * symbols to the end of the numbers.  In summary:

number -	A number by itself represents a row height in absolute pixels.

number% -	A number followed by a % represents a row that takes up that number percent of the screen height.

number* -	Multiple numbers followed by *s indicate that the remaining space should be divided up between the rows according to the number before the * symbol.  Eg rows=”1*,3*” indicates the first row should get ¼ of the screen height, and the second should get ¾.

* -	A * symbol by itself indicates the remaining space should be allocated to this row.

cols -	This attribute consists of a comma separated list of numbers, representing the width of each column within the frameset.  These numbers can represent pixel values.  However, percentage values and relative scaling values can be represented by attaching the % and * symbols to the end of the numbers.  In summary:

number -	A number by itself represents a column width in absolute pixels.

number% -	A number followed by a % represents a column that takes up that number percent of the screen width.

number* -	Multiple numbers followed by *s indicate that the remaining space should be divided up between the columns according to the number before the * symbol.  Eg cols=”1*,3*” indicates the first column should get ¼ of the screen width, and the second should get ¾.

* -	A * symbol by itself indicates the remaining space should be allocated to this column.

Note:	CMed has a special dialog box designed to make creating rows and columns easier.  Simply press the Add Row or Add Col button, and fill in the dialog box to add a row or a column to your frameset element.

name -	The name of the client-side image map that is contained inside the map element.  To make an image use this map for it’s hotspots, use this name in the URL you assign to the image’s usemap attribute.


Area Element (Netscape)

HTML code:	<AREA>

Closing tag:	Optional

Required attributes:	(href and coords) or nohref

This element is used inside the map element to specify a hotspot for a client-side image map. Netscape Navigator also supports the use of the target attribute in the same way as in the anchor, base and form elements.

Attributes

href -	A URL specifying the URL to jump to when the hotspot is selected.

Note:	You can enter a new URL, select from previous URL’s you have specified, or can specify a file using the browse button.  If relative pathname generation is switched on in preferences, CMed will create the relative pathname of the file you select when you return to your document.  Note that you must save your document in order for CMed to create the relative pathname.

nohref -	If this attribute is present, the hotspot will have no action associated with it.

shape -	The shape of the hotspot.

rect, circ, or poly.

coords - The comma separated list of numbers making up a set of x,y co-ordinates for the hotspot.  The number of co-ordinates that are needed will depend upon the shape used.

Note:	CMed makes it easy to generate co-ordinates.  Simply select the shape you wish to create, and press the Enter Coords button.  CMed will present you with an appropriate dialog box to enter your co-ordinates into.

target - 	The name of the window into which the link should be loaded should this hotspot be selected.  Any name can be given, or one of Netscape’s “magic” target names can be specified:

_blank - 	the link will be loaded into a new blank window which will not be named.

_self - 	the link will be loaded into the same window as the client-side image map.

_parent-	the link will be loaded into the frameset parent of the window that holds the client-side image map.  If there is no parent, this will act like a _self target name.

_top - 	the link will be loaded into the full window.
