Splitting an existing frame creates a new frameset inside the current frameset file. A frameset that contains another frameset is called a parent frameset.
To create a nested frameset:
1 | Place the cursor within an existing frame. |
2 | Choose Modify > Frameset > Split Frame Up, Down, Left, or Right. |
![]() |
You can also Alt-drag (Windows) or Option-drag (Macintosh) a frame border into the Document window to split the frame vertically or horizontally.
To view the frameset HTML code, select a frameset by clicking on a frameset border and then open the HTML inspector. The code looks something like this:
<frameset cols="207,397"> <frame src="file:///C|/SITEROOT/UntitledFrame-2" name="Frame One"> <frameset rows="270,268"> <frame src="file:///C|/SITEROOT/UntitledFrame-3" name="Top Right"> <frame src="/temp.htm" name="Top Left"> </frameset> </frameset>
You can see how the new frameset is indented within the parent frameset.
