Frames are a popular way to make navigation easier to maintain on a Web site. Adobe GoLive makes it easy to create a framed Web page.

Difficulty: Easy
Time Required: 5 minutes
Here's How:
  1. Create each of the HTML pages that will be the actual frame contents, one page for every frame.
  2. Open a new page in GoLive.
  3. Click on the Frame Editor tab at the top of the new document window.
  4. Open the objects window, type Ctrl+2 if it's not already open, and click on the frames palette.
  5. Choose the frame layout you want, and drag it to the new document.
  6. Click on the first frame, and open the Inspector window (type ctrl+1 if it's not open).
  7. Click on the yellow file icon and browse to the HTML page for that frame.
  8. Give the frame a name, and validate the height, width, and other options.
  9. Repeat from step 6 for every other frame in the set.
  10. Click on the Layout tab at the top of the frameset window, and type in your noframes content.
Tips:
  1. Always include a </a> area. This is the section of the page that <a href="http://webdesign.about.com/cs/promotion/a/aaframesseo.htm">search engines will see</a>, and it should have information so that they can view it.</li><li>While it's not required, it's a good idea to add in the <a href="http://webdesign.about.com/od/htmltags/p/bltags_html.htm"><html></a> and </html> tags at the beginning and end of the document.</li><li>Frames require that you create additional HTML pages.
