Frames

Here's the basic coding that you will need for frames ...

<HTML><HEAD> <TITLE>Page Title here .. </TITLE> </HEAD> <FRAMESET Rows="50%,*" BORDER="0"> <FRAME SRC="questions.html" Name="frame1" Scrolling="Auto" > <FRAME SRC="answers.html" Name="frame2" Scrolling="Auto"> </frameset> <NOFRAMES> <BODY>  </BODY> </NOFRAMES> </HTML>

Please notice that there is NO body tag in the frame section of the coding .. you use frame set and frame src instead .. be sure to name your frames and also to ensure that you have targeted them to go to another window .. eg - clicking in frame1 (in the document named questions.html) will have a target source of frame2 - if you don't do this .. you end up with your link showing up in the same window as you cicked in .. I had a devil of a time with that until I finally figured it out - drove me bug it did!!!

The frameset tag controls whether you will have columns or rows and what size they will be ..

The frame src tag is where you say what files will be incuded in your windows and what their names are .. you can also control whether the frames will scroll with saying yes, no or auto ..

After the frame set tag is closed .. it is always a good idea to include a comment for browsers that aren't capable of frames .. With either a statement saying, I'm sorry your browser doesn't include frames, or a link to the document where frames aren't needed ..
