As I said, to make a frames page, you must first
decide how many frames you want. For this introduction, I'm going to show
you how to make a frames page with two frames, one on the left and one on the
right. To do this, you will have to actually publish 3 separate pages, one
for each of the pages you see (left frame and right frame), plus one additional
page I'll call the Master Code Page. Start by putting together the Master
Code Page.
For the Master Code
Page, you first have to remember that you can't see this page. It will not
appear when your frame is published. However, it is the page that ties
everything together. It contains the html code that sets up how many
frames you will have, and the size of these frames.
For the example
I'm going to show you, this is the code for the
Master Code Page. Copy it to a new page of your own. Do not put anything else on the page!
Just
copy and publish it as it is, as a separate page.
<HTML> <HEAD>
<title>You Can Put the Title of Your Own Page Here!</title> </HEAD>
<FRAMESET COLS="235,*" BORDER="0"> <FRAME SRC="leftframe.html" SCROLLING="AUTO" NORESIZE> <FRAME
SRC="rightframe.html"> <NOFRAMES> To view this document, you need a
frames-compatible browser such as Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer.
</NOFRAMES>
You do not see this
page,
but gives the set up for all the frames. It is also the address that you would type
in to see the whole frames thing set up. You can call it any name you want with an
ending of .html, but to try to make things easier for you, I am going to call it:
http://www.roxydoll12.com/help/frames.html
(Of course, change the address to make it your site name,
with frames.html as the page name, if you want to call it that also.)
OK, now you've got the frames thing set up.
You now
need to make the content for the left and right frames. So now you need to make up
two pages with content on them. The left page you will call leftframe.html
and
the right one will be rightframe.html
I've made up two sample pages to show you what they will
look like, but put your own content on them.
My Left Frame-
I put on it a couple of links and a blue background. Click on the link to see the page
alone, without the frames
My Right Frame-
I put on it some graphics. Click on the link to see the page
alone, without the frames
Put your own stuff on both of these pages,
and publish them along with the master page

sizes of frames go to this site, the one I use to make up the sizes of all my frames:
