First of all, I don’t have much stuff here yet. I learned about HTML just a couple week and didn’t learn more much so This page will only provide a frame first, Yeah! I will add more soon when I learn more HTML.




....
. . .

Before we start, I have to talk about frame first. Frame tag is in the same level as Body tag when I have a frame U must not have a body ( for me, I still put a body tag down but nothing inside them ). Frame Tag provide 2 HTML files on them, it will show 2 pages with in one same frame pages. Let’s see and example first an I will explain later.




This is a very basic pattern of a set of Frame . First line is the indicator, browser will know how width and height of a first window and second window will be. Here I use XX for a first one ( U should place a number instead of XX ) so I set a left one to XX and *= rest of a space. This pattern will create a left and right window, mention form COL="XX,*" if U want to create a top and bottom frame U just place a ROWS="XX,*" instead of COLS="XX,*" like this.




From both example above U need to create 2 more HTML files named ‘one.html’ and ‘two.html’ then this 2 page will appear all together when user open the frame page. NAME attribute is also very important here, All link that U create witnin this 2 html need a target to appear … basically it all page will appear at the same page they are right? But when U have a Frame which has 2 HTML on it U have an alternative to make it appear in the same window or in another window. When u create one of them to be a toolbar, U might not want all text to be appear there and keep that toolbar all-time appear so now U need to lead the next page to another windows. Hold on!!! If this make U complicated I’m sorry, This step… U need to remember and put a little concentrate on your XXX in NAME="XXX" because it will needed later on if U want to create a Frame page. Try to make it easy like a pair, left-right, toolbar-main, above-below, etc. so U don’t mess your things up.

Here is some attribute for the Frame tag most of them named like the way it appear U might estimate it effected form a name. I might missing a lot of attribute ‘coz I didn’t read any book about frame, sorry for my poor knowledge.


....
FRAMEBORDER=YES
FRAMEBORDER=NO

This attribute will tell a browser that U want a border to appear or not.


....
BORDER=X
BORDERCOLOR=XXXX or BORDERCOLOR=#XXXXXX
U can fix a size of a border by this attribute, as usual a color might fill in Hex form or palate form.


....
SCROLLING=NO
SCROLLING=YES
SCROLLING=AUTO
This is a scrollbar, if U addicted to scrollbar and want it permanent appeared U can use YES to your page. If U want it just appear when necessary, u can use an AUTO. NO will terminated a scrollbar even your page is larger than it able to appear.


....
MARGINWIDTH=XXX
MARGINHEIGHT=XXX
Like a word processing, margin is a space provide from the edge of page, here, MARGIN is a space provide from the edge of frame. MARGINWIDTH is a space in a horizontal and MARGINHEIGHT is a space in a Vertical.


....
Don’t forget that U can combine 2 frame together and even use a frame in a frame. Sounds weird? Let’s see an example with left and top small frame with large space available in a below—right place.






TARGET="XXXX"
This attribute is not for FRAME but it’s for an ANCHOR. All link which located in a frame should have a target to appear, if U want it to appear at the same windows ( the one its located ) U no need to put a target in but if U want it to appear in another frame or want to get out of a frame U have to type something to lead a link to the destination.
TARGET="_TOP" will make a next page out of a frame whatever it is your page or not.
TARGET="XXXX" make the next page ( from a link ) appear at the specific page NAME. So it’s depend on what page NAME u want it to appear, from the example above I have a link at toolbar.html named
home
if I didn’t set a target the coming page will appear at left windows, If I want it to appear at main windows I have to set a target…
home
NAME is CASESENSITIVE!!! Don’t mess things up with a cap lock!!! If U named it in all-cap U must type a target with all-cap, too. When U link to the other page U should stop your frame because other page might have there own frame, U should put target="_top" there.

Beware of link back to previous page, if U link to the frame page U must put a TARGET="_TOP" in that link ! if not your frame will come all over again!!! ( try it, actually it is very funny).
. . .

Noframe will show a text between both tag to a user that unable to open that page…poor win3.11 so U should write something down in it and let people know that they should go to another page without frame, U are on duty to do that!!! NOFRAME should come after a Frame close tag.

<br> Sorry, This page require IE3 or Netscape3 or greater to view it. <br> Well, This is the end of HTML : step by step with P E N G U i N. Hope u get something back… This section was first create in 19 September, 1997. It will be updated later on when I know something more, U can indicate the updated information in my main page anyway. Thanks for your concentration and supporting. Hope U still visit my page and don’t forget to drop something in my guestbook, even U already sign it before.
