Chapter 7 . Work with Frames

[ LiB ]

Those of you who were using the Web back in the mid-1990s might remember what was euphemistically called "the Browser Wars." No guns or tanks in this warjust two companies, Netscape and Microsoft, that were each trying to dominate on this new medium called the World Wide Web .

Early in this war, Netscape tossed out a new and very interesting addition to HTML coding: frames. Frames enabled pages to be split into multiple, independent parts . Each section of the page could contain content separate from the other sections, which opened up a whole new realm of design possibilities. There are many long-forgotten aspects of HTML code that were casualties of that browser war, but luckily frames were not one of those lost. In this chapter, you'll learn how to:

Create some basic frames, complete with content
Link within and without frames
Change a frame border
Add to and delete frames from your page
