Frameset Tags

Frameset tags are included here largely for informational purposes because a frameset is a Domino design object. These are the tags used to split the browser window into frames , displaying different pages in each frame.

`<FRAMESET>`

Type: Container

Syntax:

<FRAMESET ROWS="size list" COLS="size list"></FRAMESET>

Description: Creates a frameset. Framesets can be defined by rows ( ROWS ) or by columns ( COLS ), but not by both. ROWS and COLS can be specified in pixels or percents.

`<FRAME>`

Type: Standalone

Syntax:

<FRAME SRC="document url" NAME="name" FRAMEBORDER="01" 
MARGINWIDTH="pixels" MARGINHEIGHT="pixels" NORESIZE
SCROLLING="YES NO  AUTO">

Description: Used with <FRAMESET> to create a frame with content.

`<IFRAME>`

Type: Container

Syntax:

<IFRAME SRC="document url" NAME="name" FRAMEBORDER="01" WIDTH="value" 
HEIGHT="value" MARGINWIDTH="pixels" MARGINHEIGHT="pixels" NORESIZE
SCROLLING="YES NO  AUTO"> alternate text or image </IFRAME>

Description: Produces a frame that floats on the page. Width and height can be specified in pixels or percentages.

`<NOFRAME>`

Type: Container

Syntax:

<NOFRAME> content </NOFRAME>

Description: Used as an alternative for browsers that cannot display frames. The content between the beginning and ending tags frequently is a URL pointing to an alternate site.

Hyperlink Tags

Hyperlink tags are used in HTML to link to other pages or Web sites. These tags are extremely powerful; although you can accomplish similar effects with Domino Designer, it is good to understand what actually makes a link function.

`<A>`

Type: Container

Syntax:

<A HREF="URL" TARGET="frame" REL="forward link" REV="reverse link" 
ACCESSKEY="letter" TABINDEX="tab position"> hyperlink content </A>
or <A NAME="value"> text </A>

Description: Used with HREF ; sets up a hyperlink from the content to the specified URL. Used with NAME , <A> sets an anchor link in the document.

`<IMG>`

Type: Standalone

Syntax:

<IMG SRC="path to file (url)" HEIGHT="pixels" WIDTH="pixels" 
ALT="alternate text" ALIGN="alignment" HSPACE="pixels" VSPACE="pixels"
ISMAP USEMAP="name">

Description: Used to display images. Frequently used to create clickable images that launch URLs.

Appendix B. Domino URL Reference

IN THIS APPENDIX

Domino URL Identifiers
Alphabetical List of Domino URLs

Domino URLs can be embedded in documents as HTML and enable access to various Domino features. Domino URLs follow a fairly straightforward syntax, as in the following example:

http://Host/DominoObject?Action&Arguments

Host can be an IP address or a DNS entry. DominoObject s consist of documents, views, databases, agents , framesets, and so forth. Action s are taken against DominoObject s, and Argument s are passed to the Action . Action s are prefixed with the question mark ( ? ) and all Argument s are prefixed with the ampersand ( & ). For example, the following code opens the database myhome.nsf on the Domino server www.myserver.com and requires the user to log in:

http://www.myserver.com/myhome.nsf?OpenDatabase&Login

Because spaces are not permitted in URLs, in general, you can replace them with the plus sign ( + ), as in the following URL that opens the Main Topics view:

http://www.myserver.com/myhome.nsf/Main+Topics?OpenView
