A frames page is a special Web page that defines a set of named, scrollable regions, in which other pages are displayed. Initially, each frame contains three buttons:
Set Initial Page Refers to the Web page that is displayed the first time you open a frames page in your Web browser. When you click Set Initial Page, the Create Hyperlink dialog box appears. You can then select which page you want to be displayed in the frame. New Page Creates a new, blank page in the current frame. You can set this page as the initial page that will be displayed when you open the frames page in your Web browser. Help Opens the "Getting Started with Frames" Help topic, which provides a quick-start guide to using frames.
When you create a frames page with Microsoft FrontPage in a web view, two additional tabs will appear at the bottom of the Page view window. These are:
No Frames Shows how the content will appear when a browser that does not support frames is used to open the page. Frames Page HTML Shows the frames page HyperText Markup Language (HTML) code, which consists of the <HTML>, <BODY>, <FRAMESET>, and <FRAME> tags. Other HTML tags, normally used in HTML documents, are not valid tags in a frameset page.
