Creating a page that uses frames

There are two ways to create a page that uses frames in Claris Home Page. You can create a page using the Frame Assistant. The assistant helps you set up your frame layout, create a navigational menu (like a table of contents) and assign existing files to your frames. For more information on using the Frame Assistant, see Using site assistants.

You can also create a page that uses frames without the use of the Frame Assistant. To create a page that uses a navigational menu, see Creating a navigational frame layout.

To create a page that uses frames:

1. Open all the Web pages you want displayed in the frames.
   
2. Choose New from the File menu.
   
   The New dialog box appears.

   

   

3. If you want to create a page that uses frames yourself, click Create New, select Frame Page in the list, and click OK.
   
   If you want to use an assistant to create the page, click Use Assistant, select Frame Assistant in the scrolling list, and click OK. Skip the rest of these steps and follow the instructions in the Frame Assistant.
   
4. Select the pages that you want to display in frames by clicking the check boxes next to each page in the dialog box.

   

If the pages you want displayed in the frames are not open, click Add File, select the page, and then click Open. Once selected, the Web page appears in the list with a selected check box next to it.

If you don't select any pages, Claris Home Page creates a page with two blank frames.

1. Choose Horizontal or Vertical from the Document Orientation pop-up menu to set the orientation of the frames.
   
2. Click OK.
   
   An untitled page containing frames opens displaying the Web page in the orientation you specified.
   
   Important Claris Home Page automatically displays pages that uses frames in Edit Frames mode. This is an additional mode available only when you are working with frames. When a page that uses frames is open and selected, the Frame menu appears on the menu bar, the Edit Frames button is selected, and the Subdivide Horizontally , Subdivide Vertically , Add Frame , Select Parent Frameset , and Select Root Frameset buttons appear on the toolbar.
