Create A Frames Version And A
Non-Frames Version Of Your Site.

• Setting Up Links And Targets

We will be working with the navigation document.
Click for the
MSNTV users click here to see the code.
Each of the links need to be targeted
to a particular frame.
You noticed each frame in the last section
was given a NAME.
You can target your links to any frame
you wish by directing the TARGET
to the NAME of the frame.
In our sample we will direct the targets to
the right frame (content frame) from
the left frame (navigation frame).

The NAME we gave to the content frame
was "content". So we will TARGET the links
in our navigation document to that NAME.
<a href="content.html" TARGET="content">
<a href="http://www.lycos.com" TARGET="content">
Once a link is targeted the web page
will show up in that frame when clicked on.

• Breaking The Link Out Of The Frame

You can also break a clickable link out of the
frames page.
This can be accommplished in two ways.
One way is TARGET="_top"
This will allow the clicked on link to replace your
frames page with the web page that was clicked on.
The second way is TARGET="_window"
This will open a new browser window to display
the clicked on link in that browser window,
leaving your frames page still open.
Note to MSNTV Users:
Since MSNTV can not open another browser window
the TARGET="_window" will work the same as
the TARGET="_top".

• A Frames Page Using ROWS

As I promised on the first page of this course,
I will show you our sample page using ROWS=
in place of using COLS=
I had to alter the navigation page slightly
to get the clickable links going across the page.
I used the same content page as before.
But, the sample shown in ROWS is essentially
the same page with the navigation frame at the top.
Click for the new navigation page
Click for the
MSNTV users click here to see the code.
Click for the sample page in ROWS
Click for the
MSNTV users click here to see the code.
That ends the Frames Course.
I hope you found it informative.
Frames are pretty easy once you practice
a bit with them it also is a nice look to any web page.
