Applies to: Microsoft Office FrontPage 2003
Some of the content in this topic may not be applicable to some languages. A frames page is a type of Web page that, when displayed in the browser, has multiple regions within it called frames. Each of these frames can display a different Web page. A frames page itself contains no visible content You create a frames page by using one of the frames page Web site templates (template: A set of predesigned formats for text and graphics on which new Web pages and sites can be based. After a page or site is created using a template, you can customize it.) in Microsoft FrontPage. In each of these templates, the navigation between frames is already set up for you. For example, a frames page created by using the Banner and Contents frames page template actually shows four pages simultaneously in the browser: the frames page, which is the container, and the three pages shown in each of the three frames. In the following example, when you click a hyperlink in the contents frame on the left, the page pointed to by that hyperlink opens in the main frame.
After you create the frames page from a template, all you need to do is set the initial page (initial page: The page that is initially displayed in a frame when a site visitor browses to a frames page containing the frame. In FrontPage, you can assign the initial page to a frame in Page view.) you want shown in each frame. You can select an existing page or create a new page. Then you can edit the page directly in its frame. In frames pages based on the Banner and Contents frames page template, many companies use the banner frame to show a corporate logo and the primary departments. Frames pages are often used for catalogs, lists of articles or information, or any other kind of page where clicking a hyperlink in one frame shows a page in another frame. Authors use frames pages because they contain built-in navigation and present a consistent user interface.
On any frames page, you can split a frame horizontally or vertically to create two frames. You can either split it into evenly divided rows or columns, or you can drag its border to specify a certain size for each frame. You can resize or delete frames by selecting and dragging frame borders. You can also choose to show or hide the borders between frames.
