Delete

Not available when the current file is a frame page previewed in Navigator.

Deletes the currently selected text, image, or HTML element. If nothing is selected, it deletes the character to the right of the cursor.

Split Horizontally

Splits the current frame into two horizontal frames. The current frame is outlined in red, and can be selected by using the arrow keys. Or, by clicking inside the frame, if a URL (Web page address) has been assigned to the frame. If not, the New Frame box appears, asking if you want to assign a URL to the frame, or split it further.

Split Vertically

Splits the current frame into two vertical frames. The current frame is outlined in red, and can be selected by using the arrow keys. Or, by clicking inside the frame, if a URL (Web page address) has been assigned to the frame. If not, the New Frame box appears, asking if you want to assign a URL to the frame, or split it further.

Delete Frame

Available when the current file is a frame page previewed in Navigator.

Deletes the currently selected frame. The current frame is outlined in red. To select a different frame, click inside the frame you want to select (if it has already been assigned a URL), or use the arrow keys.

When a frame is deleted, the space that was previously accorded to that frame is dispersed equally to the remaining frames in the current frameset. The current frameset is the parent of the current frame, and is outlined in green. If the deleted frame was the only frame in the parent frameset, both the frame and the parent frameset will be deleted.

Delete Frameset

Available when the current file is a frame page previewed in Navigator.

Deletes the currently selected frameset. The current frameset is outlined in green, and is the parent of the current frame.

Delete All Frames...

Copy
