MORE INFORMATION

FrontPage 97

To create an invisible frame, follow these steps:

1. Start FrontPage Editor.
2. On the File menu, click New.
3. In the Template Or Wizard list, click Frames Wizard, and then click OK.
4. Click Next on each panel of the wizard, until the last panel. On the last panel, click Finish.
5. In FrontPage Explorer, right-click the page you created in steps 1 through 4, and then click Open With.
6. In the Editor list, click FrontPage Editor, and then click OK.
7. On the View menu, click HTML.

8. In the HTML box, locate the <FrameSet> tag, and add the FrameBorder and FrameSpacing attributes so that the tag looks something like this:

   <FRAMESET ROWS="50%,50%" FRAMEBORDER="0" BORDER="0" FRAMESPACING="0">

9. On the File menu, click Save.

FrontPage 1.1

Open the Web page in a text editor, such as Notepad, and insert the <FrameSet> tag. For example, insert this code:

   <FRAMESET ROWS="50%,50%" FRAMEBORDER="0" BORDER="0" FRAMESPACING="0">
                

NOTE: If you reopen your Web page in FrontPage Editor, FrontPage deletes the FrameBorder and FrameSpacing attributes.
