Frames

There are two main types of frames that you may wish to use.

IFrames are used to embed a page inside another page, usually with its own boarder. These are often used for advertising or links to alternate websites.
HTML Frames on the other hand are often used to divide up areas of a web page to show specific information, such as a toolbar or header at the top of the page or a menu bar down the side.

Note: Many of the older browsers could not display information in frames, so it is important to provide a non-frame alternative, if frames cannot be handled.

There are many configuration settings that can be applied to a Frame, these are not covered in detail here.

IFrames are the simplest to use, so we will start with these in the sample code below. The code represents a simple Home page with a help page "helpsamp.htm" embedded in it.

As in previous examples copy the code into your page as required and edit the red text to suit your own needs.

Sample code for an IFrame

<html>

<head>

</head>

<body>

<h1>Page Title</h1>

<p>The page in the frame below is the help page.</p>

<br>

<p>This text follows the IFrame section</p>

</body>

</html>

The Page preview is shown below.

The page in the frame below is the help page.
