Frames

[covoxer]

It's kind of odd isn't it that WD includes the 'Open Link In' targets for framesets when WD cannot itself create these framesets. 'Framesets' are HTML methods.

Yes, WD does not produce framesets, but these options allow for creating WD pages that can be used within framesets.

Generally, frameset concept is mostly deprecated.W3C does not recommend using frameset pages no more.

Steve - That is a good work around.

Could you achieve the same thing with layers?

[steve.ledger]

I can't think why not. Though layering might get tricky.

The 'page' method might be is easier to get your head around when migrating from Dreamweaver's HTML 'frameset' mindset?
It's certainly easy to re edit in WD and see everything without having to hide/unhide layers.

A really compelling discussion with an excellent example. Thank you (all) for your dedication to this forum. BTW - where does the green come from on the mouseover? Chris

Nice one, Steve. Thanks for sharing your frameset example.

That is a very cool example, Steve! One of the problems with using frames is that web page printing is a bit unpredictable for the site visitor. With your example, would printing address more than the current frame?
