Creating frames within frames

If you want to have horizontal frames and vertical frames in the same page, you need to create frames within a frame. Frames that are grouped together are enclosed by their own border. This type of border is called a parent frameset. The border that encloses the entire grouping of frames on the page is called a root frameset.

To create frames within a frame:

1. Select the frame.
   
2. Divide the frame into two frames:
   
   • To divide a frame into two horizontal frames, choose Subdivide Horizontally from the Frame menu or click the Subdivide Horizontally button on the toolbar. The single frame is divided into two horizontal frames.
     
   • To divide a frame into two vertical frames, choose Subdivide Vertically from the Frame menu or click the Subdivide Vertically button . The single frame is divided into two vertical frames.

Note You can change the vertical and horizontal orientations of all the frames in the root frameset or a parent frameset. See Changing the orientation of frames for more information.
