Microsoft FrontPage uses an intuitive interface to create, edit, and manage
frames pages. This article provides additional information about
creating and editing frames pages, what the different views are, and how
the frames pages work in conjunction with shared borders.
A frames page is a special Web page that defines a set of named, scrollable
regions, in which other pages are displayed. Initially, each frame
contains three buttons:
Set Initial Page Refers to the Web page that is displayed the first
time you open a frames page in your Web browser. When
you click Set Initial Page, the Create Hyperlink
dialog box appears. You can then select which page
you want to be displayed in the frame.
New Page Creates a new, blank page in the current frame. You
can set this page as the initial page that will be
displayed when you open the frames page in your Web
browser.
Help Opens the "Getting Started with Frames" Help topic,
which provides a quick-start guide to using frames.
When you create a frames page with Microsoft FrontPage in a web view, two
additional tabs will appear at the bottom of the Page view window. These
are:
No Frames Shows how the content will appear when a browser that
does not support frames is used to open the page.
Frames Page HTML Shows the frames page HyperText Markup Language
(HTML) code, which consists of the <HTML>, <BODY>,
<FRAMESET>, and <FRAME> tags. Other HTML tags,
normally used in HTML documents, are not valid tags
in a frameset page.
