Microsoft FrontPage Tutorial
Lessons: Intro | Basic | Links | Images | Tables | Frames

This tutorial uses frames to create the title bar at the top of the screen. You'll notice that when you scroll down the main information, the title remains at the top of the screen. Frames esentially displays multiple html files at the same time in different parts of the screen.

In order to tell the web browser how to display these frames, you must have a kind of framework. This is done by creating a new HTML file. Under the file menu, create a new page.

A large window will open up with various types of webpages you can make. Select the frames tab at the top of the screen, and you will see this:

Browse through these layouts, looking at the preview at the bottom corner of the screen. When you've chosen one you want, click the OK button to create your page.

In each section of the page, you will see two buttons. You can use the set initial page button in the same way you'd use a link - just browse for the page you want to fill that space. Alternitavely, you can use the new page button to make a new file to put in that space.

FrontPage will display the webpages you choose together on the screen. You can resize the frames in the same way you'd resize tables, just by dragging the borders around.

Of course, there are advanced frame properties. You can access these by right clicking on the page and choosing Frame properties. This window will open up:

Once you get the hang of playing around with these features, you'll be able to make better and better pages.

When saving a frame page, what the display that indicates what page you are actually saving. The page in highlighted in blue is the one you are saving at that point. When the background is blue, you are saving the main frame page. This should usually be index.htm. The others can have names like header.htm or main.htm.
