Hello. I'm going to give you a few simple lessons on how to
make frames for your web documents. The intelligent use of
frames can give your pages a cleaner look and make them easier
to navigate. Note the operative word is intelligent.
Dividing a page into frames is actually quite simple. The
basic concept goes like this: Each frame is a regular, complete
html document. If you wanted to divide your page into 2 side by
side frames, then you would put one complete html document in
the left frame and another complete html document in the right
frame. In addition you need to write a third html
document. This MASTER PAGE contains the <FRAME>
tags that specify what goes where. As a matter of fact, that's
its only function.
There are only two main frame tags to contend with: <FRAMESET>
and <FRAME>. The easiest way
to explain them is to have you dive right in and start making
some frames. I guarantee that in 90 minutes you'll be a
feel-no-pain framing machine!
Now's a good time to stress that if you want to learn how to
make quality html documents, then you would be well served to
take the time to teach yourself the tags. If you rely on the
so-called "frame wizards" in the "easy as pie
html editors" out there, you will have greatly limited flexibility,
and the end result may not be what you are trying to achieve. In
my opinion the best html editors to use are text based editors.
These editors will make your html coding easier. They don't
attempt to do it for you.
