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.
