Frames
Frames are a great
way to organize your information and provide a navigation aid. Here is an example
of a way people use frames.

A frame page actually
consists of a html file with the frame code inside, that calls up other html
files and displays them in one window. This way you have three different html
files on the screen: navigation.html, ad.html and main.html. They are put into
one file called index.html.
The following is the HTML code of the index.html file:
<html>
<head>
<title>Example</title>
</head>
<frameset rows="80%,20%">
<frameset cols="20%,80%">
<frame src="navigation.html" name="frame1">
<frame src="main.html" name="frame2">
</frameset>
<frame src="ad.html" name="frame3">
</frameset>
<body>
</body>
</html>
As you can see,
the index.html calls up navigation.html, main.html and ad.html which are html
files. The frameset rows defines the size of the rows and frameset cols defines
the size of the columns. the frame src tells the name of the HTML file that
will be loaded in the part.
If you want a link from navigation.html to open in main.html you would use the
following tag:
<a href="link.html" target="frame2">Link</a>
on the navigation page. You would use whatever you name the file up above in
the code after the target=" ".
