Using a table of contents page in a frame set


When you use frames to display a table of contents and the pages linked to it, for every link in the table of contents you must specify the target frame in which the linked page will appear.

To specify a frame for linked pages:

1 Create a frame set and set your table of contents page to appear in one of the frames.

2 Open the table of contents page and link each item in the list to a Web page.

3 For each link, in the Link tab of the Text or Image Inspector, specify the target frame where you want the linked page to appear by choosing an option from the Target pop-up menu:
  • Choosing a frame's name loads the page in that frame. The frame names of your open frame set appear at the top of the menu.
  • _top loads the page referenced by the link into the full Web browser window, replacing the current frame set entirely. If the current page is already at the top, the page loads into the frame that contains the link.
  • _parent loads the page referenced by the link into the parent of the current document. If the current page has no parent, the target _self is used. (The parent is the next highest frame set in the hierarchy.)
  • _self loads the page referenced by the link into the window or frame that contains the link, replacing the table of contents page.
  • _blank loads the page referenced by the link into a new untitled window.
  • Default removes any previously set target for the page.

    • You can set actions for pages in frames that force a browser to always display the pages in the frame set regardless of how the pages are accessed. You can also use actions to set multiple target frames for a single link. See  Preventing pages from displaying in a frame set and Displaying two frames from one link.
