Foil 32 Frame Documents in Netscape 2.0 Browsers

From Introduction to HTML--ECS400 fall 97 ECS400 Senior Undergraduate Course -- Spring Semester 97. by Nancy J. McCracken *

1 Multiple, independently scrollable frames in a single browser screen. Each frame can have its own URL.
2 Frames can be used to place static objects within the window, such as banners, table of contents, control bars, copyright notices, etc.
3 Frames also provide the ability to view more than one information source, such as submitting a keyword for searching in one frame and viewing its results in another. Both can be on the screen at one time.
4 In an html frame document, the tags <frameset> . . . </frameset> replace the <body> tags of a normal html document. The frameset tag can have one of the attributes:
  • ROWS="rowheightvaluelist" where each value is either in pixels or a percent.
  • COLS="columnwidthlist", also is pixels or percents.
5 Within the frameset tags, only the tags, <frame>, <noframes>, and <frameset> . . . </frameset> (for nested frames) can appear.
  • The <noframes> tag pair can give a normal html body for browsers that don't have frames.
