Frames <FRAMESET>

Frames allow you to divide a page into several windows, each of them displaying a different HTML document. The HTML document containing the frames does not include the BODY command nor any other HTML commands. If any are present they are simply ignored. The frames page uses the main <FRAMESET> tag.

To insert frames in your document:

  1. In the Table, Frames and Lists tab, click on the Insert Frames. You can use the shortcut SHIFT+ALT+F (Refer to Shortcuts list).
    The Insert frames window is displayed.

  2. Divide the window as you like and define the properties of each frame.

  3. As needed, defines the properties of the frame page.

You can also use the context menu (right mouse button) to access commands. First you must place the cursor inside the frame you want to define.
