Now let's create some frames. I assume you are already familiar with the basic layout of a HTML document. Otherwise, see Jennifer Kyrnin's HTML tutorial on frames To create the frames, use the following HTML after the [BODY] element:
<FRAMESET cols="20%, 80%">This sets up three frames and gives each one a different name. The frames for the menu and item list are both in the leftmost 20% of the screen; the 80% left is for the web page to be loaded. Within the leftmost 20%, the top 35 rows are for the menu, and the lower 265 are for the listing itself.
<FRAMESET rows="35, 265">
<FRAME name="menu" src="menu.html">
<FRAME name="listing" src="">
</FRAMESET>
<FRAME name="target" src="">
Next, you will notice the names and the sources of each page. The menu will be sourced from menu.html , the next page we need to develop. When the chosen feed is retrieved and processed, the results will be posted to listing. Links in the listing will be designated to appear in the target frame.
What about the blank src tags? They are optional. They may be included by analogy with the menu frame, and they also serve to underscore the fact that both sources are variable.
