For more links to information on frames, see Ken Tidwell's CHP Resources Page. The contents of each frame is a seperate document. The central element of a frame set-up is the Frame Layout page. This page defines the frames, which documents appear in each frame, and what non-frame browsers see. Frames are employed button bars, documents where the author wishes to have a header, logo, or something displayed at all times.
Frames can also speed up the way the browser renders the page.
When you change the document displayed in a frame, only that frame needs to be updated, so the whole page is not redrawn. Go to Netscape's Website for more information on frames. Then, using the commands in the Frame menu or in the toolbar, divide the one frame to your heart's content. Now either type in the URL of the files in the URL field, use the pop-up menu to the right of the field to select a currently open document or a recent link, or, in CHP 2.0, click the browse button to choose the file using a standard dialog box. Click in the frame, and then open the Link Editor.
