If you create framed pages in Dreamweaver, you should already know how to switch to your noframes content by going into the modify menu. But did you know there's an even faster way to swith to and from noframes content?
Use the Dreamweaver Code View
Before you panic, I'm not suggesting that you start writing all your Dreamweaver frames or noframes pages in the code view. But you can use the code view to tell Dreamweaver what you want to be editing.
- Open your framed page and switch to the noframes view in the normal way.
- Once you've edited your noframes content, save the page, and click on "Code" in the toolbar.
- The code displayed will be the frameset HTML for your Web page. And most of the time, Dreamweaver will have selected your frameset code. If the frameset code is not selected, click anywhere it says <frame> or <frameset>.
- Click on Design view. Dreamweaver returns you to the design view of your frames, rather than the noframes.
Return to Noframes Content in Dreamweaver
You can get back to the design view of your noframes content in Dreamweaver just as easily.
- Make sure your frameset is selected. Click on the outer border of your frameset. All your frames will be defined by a dotted line border, and the properties window will change to frameset properties.
- Click on the code view button.
- Scroll down to the <noframes> content of the page and click anywhere within it.
- Go back to design view. Dreamweaver will display the noframes portion of your frameset.
