HTML Frames http://jjcweb.jjay.cuny.edu/ssengupta/ 1 Learning Objectives Explore the uses of frames in a Web site Display a document within a frame Format the appearance of a frame 2 What is a frame? Frames are sections of the browser window capable of displaying the contents of multiple webpages in a single Web page display 3 Remember! The browser has to load multiple HTML files when working with frames 4 Planning Your Frames first Before you start creating your frames, plan their appearance and how they are to be used: 1. How do you want the frames placed on the Web page? 2. What is the size of each frame? 3. What information will be displayed in each frame? 4. What Web pages will users first see when they access the site? 5 Planning Your Frames Layout 6 Frameset A frameset describes the frame layout The <frameset> element is used to store the definitions of the various frames in the file. These definitions will typically include: o Size and location of the frame o Web pages the frames display 7 Frameset What is the tag used for frameset? <frameset>…</frameset> example <html> <head> <title>Learning Frames</title> </head> <frameset> define layout and frames here </frameset> </html> 8 Simplest Layout Defined in Either Rows or Columns 9 Frames in columns or rows You must choose to layout your frames in either columns or rows To create a frame layout, you will use the cols and rows attributes of the <frameset> element o The cols attribute creates a column of frames o The rows attribute creates a row of frames 10 cols attribute for <frameset> Creating a column frame layout o attribute name: cols o attribute value: number of pixels | percentage | * <frameset cols=“column1 width%, column2 width%, *”> 11 Content of frames So, now we have created the frame layout But the frames are not yet visible!! So, what goes inside the frames? HTML files!!! 12 Define frame source use <frame> tag within o <frameset> & </frameset> tags <frameset cols=“30%,*”> <frame src=“abc.htm”> <frame src=“xyz.htm”> </frameset> 13 Let’s create the first example 14 rows attribute for <frameset> Creating a row frame layout o attribute name: rows o attribute value: number of pixels | percentage | * <frameset rows=“row1 height%, row2 height%, *”> 15 Creating a Nested frame structure Combination of rows and cols 16 Creating a Nested frame structure <html> <head> <title> Learning Frames </title> </head> <frameset rows="30%, *"> <frame src="header.htm"> <!– nested frameset --> <frameset cols="30%, *"> <frame src=“links.htm"> <frame src=“home.htm"> </frameset> </frameset> </html> Remember correct nesting of the structures are ABSOLUTELY important here. 17 Nesting framesets nesting one pair of <frameset> tags in another <frameset rows=“30%,*”> <frame src=“heading.html”> <frameset cols=“30%,*”> <frame src=“body_left.html”> <frame src=“body_right.html”> </frameset> </frameset> 18 Using the <noframes> Element Use the <noframes> element to allow your Web site to be viewable using browsers that do or do not support frames When a browser that supports frames processes this code, it ignores everything within the <noframes> elements and concentrates solely on the code within the <frameset> elements When a browser that doesn’t support frames processes this code, it doesn’t know what to do with the <frameset> and <noframes> elements, so it ignores them When you use the <noframes> element, you must include <body> elements, this way, both types of browsers are supported within a single HTML file 19 The <noframes> Syntax The syntax for the <noframes> element is: <html> <head> <title>title</title> </head> <frameset> frames <noframes> <body> <p>This page uses frames, but your browser doesn't support them.</p> </body> </noframes> </frameset> 20 </html> Site Layout #1 index.html streetsign logo here logo.html Some Description here John Jay Link Class website Link link.html home.html 21 Site Layout #2 Some content here Some content here Some content here Some content here Some content here 22 Site Layout #3 Some content here Some content here Some content here Some content here Some content here 23
