Making just columns or rows is very simple with frames. Making something more complicated is a little more difficult. Difficult to understand at first, but easy later, that is. This is called nesting frames.
Here is an example
<frameset rows=*,97>
<frame src="index2.htm" name="Large">
<frameset cols=*,*>
<frame src="nav.htm" name="Navbar">
<frame src="nav2.htm" name="Navbar2">
</frameset>
<noframes>
- Your backup page for non frames-capable browsers -
</noframes>
</frameset>
Remember to put in
the backup <noframes> tags for the non frames capable browsers.
This would look exactly like the one before, just that it would have the bottom row split into two different frames.
Conclusion
Personally, I don't like
frames and they are a pain to do, but if you like them, then that's your
business. Here are some things to remember while making frames pages.
People don't like to have to scroll through
more than one frame on a page; keep your navigation bar small enough that
someone with a small screen resolution won't have to scroll (or just use the
scrolling=no option...) Remember to target your links when using
frames:
When linking from your navigation frame, target
to the main frame When linking to pages or sites that are not
yours, the target should be "_top" to get rid of your frames
Don't use too many frames on your page; it
clutters it up Be creative; don't just copy someone else's
configuration of frames. If you don't want to; don't make your page have
frames. It is not necessary
