Create Frames Tutorial
Dreamweaver
Objective: To create "frames" for a web page

---

Introduction: Adding frames to a web page is a creative way to design and format html content for the "web". Frames allow users to segment a single browser window to display several different documents at once. When you view a framed browser window, you are actually viewing multiple HTML documents - referred to as a "frameset".

Skill Practice: To create "frames" for a web page

Step 1: Open . The Dreamweaver "Untitled" window will appear on screen, with a new, "untitled" document opened within it.

Step 2: On the top menu bar, go to Insert > Frames - a small menu will "pop-up" that will allow you to choose how to "split" the document into frames (i.e. - left, right, top, bottom).

Step 3: Choose the desired option for your document. Your document should now be "split" into two frames - you have created a "frameset".

Step 4: Follow the same, simple steps to create additional frames in your original document. Add desired content (text, graphics, links) to each frame. When finished, you will now need to save the frameset, and each individual frame, as HTML documents.

Step 5: To Save The Frameset - Go to File > Save Frameset - The "Save As" window appears, which will allow you to save the frameset.

.

"Name" and "Save" the frameset document as an HTM or HTML file within your site folder.

Step 6: To Save Individual Frames - In the document window, click within the left frame. Choose File > Save. "Name" and "Save" the frame's source document as an HTM or HTML file within your site folder. Repeat these steps for the other frames in the document.
