In our previous article we learned to work with links and entities (or special characters) in HTML and how HTML handles white space. In this episode we will discuss how to use frames to create pages within the page and how to use lists.
Frames and Lists in HTML - Setting a Frame in the Horizontal Position (Page 2 of 6 )
Framesets use the rows property to set the frames in the horizontal position. The size of the frames works in the same manner as our previous example:
<html>
<frameset rows="20%,40%,40%">
<frame src="firstframe.htm">
<frame src="secondframe.htm">
<frame src="thirdframe.htm">
</frameset>
</html>
Setting the Frame Horizontally and Vertically
As I mentioned before, you can set your frame both vertically and horizontally. This is useful for a variety of reasons. You could have your navigation frame on the left, an advertising frame at the top, and a page in the middle that displays the pages in your site when the user clicks on the links in your navigation frame. Here is how we set the frames:
<html>
<frameset rows="20%,70%">
<frame src="adframe.htm">
<frameset cols="20%,80%">
<frame src="navframe.htm">
<frame src="mainframe.htm">
</frameset>
</frameset>
</html>
As we discussed, you can use a frame as a navigation frame. When the user clicks on the links in this frame, it will load them in a different frame that you specify. To do so, you must create links to target the frame in which you wish the pages to load. You do that like this:
The above snippet of code creates a hyperlink in the phrase “About Us.” The hyperlink will load the page aboutusframe.htm in the mainframe frame. So let’s say you want to create a standard navigation menu, you would have a frame as your navigation frame (we will call it navframe). You would place these links within that page:
This creates a set of links for Home, Biography, Comments, Links, and an About Us page. When the user clicks any of these, it will load its respective page in the mainframe frame.
