Frontpage: Lesson 2 - Creating Frames
 To
add frames to our site, go to File, New, Page and select the Frames Page
tab. This displays a number of frame templates: select Header. Ctrl-click
to select each frame and then right-click to bring up the Frame Properties
dialog box: set the appropriate details, such as frame size (80 pixels)
for the header, scrolling (no), border width (0) and border frame (no);
name the top and bottom frames head and body respectively.
FrontPage
makes it easy to link files to your frame: once these have been set up,
you can either link the frames to existing files or create new pages.
To link, click on the button that says Set Initial Page, or, as in this
case, click New Page to begin editing in situ. The page view now has an
extra couple of tabs - Frames Page HTML, which allows you to edit the
code for your frames directly, as well as NoFrames, the elements of the
page that will be displayed if the browser cannot view frames.

For the
head frame, right-click to bring up the Frame Properties box and type
in the name head, with body for the body frame. Finally, save the frameset
by going to File, Save: give the frameset file the name default.html in
the root folder and when FrontPage prompts you name the other two files
as header.html and home.htm.
