Frames Tutorial part 5
Summary
This tutorial has given an overview of the major steps in creating a
framed set of web pages.
- You need a minimum of 3 HTML pages:
- a frameset that defines the overall structure
- a "normal" HTML page that is loaded into one part of the frameset
- another "normal" HTML page for the other part of the frameset
- Each frame in the frameset has a name.
- You load a new page into a frame with the TARGET keyword.
- The frameset contains no visible text.
Think of it as a picture frame where each of the component pages is like
a picture.
- The usual practice is for the left frame to be a menu,
while the right frame contains a picture or other information.
If you read the no-frames version of this tutorial, look at the framed
version to see frames in action.
