Freeway Reference: Working with Frames
191
191
Viewing Pages, Framesets, and Noframes content
Once you have defined a frameset, you no longer view a single Freeway page but rather the actual frameset on which you are working.
The Page button near the top left of the document window is replaced by a Noframes and a Frameset button.
You can work directly in each frame as it appears in the window or you can use the Link Map or Site panel to select a page by clicking
on the page’s icon. If a page is selected, the Noframes and Frameset buttons
revert to the Page button. You can return to the frameset at any time by clicking
its icon in the Link Map or Site panel.
Changing normal pages into frameset pages within a Freeway document
The procedure described in this section is useful if you have an existing page that you want to define as the Noframes content for a
frameset. The result will be an empty frameset—each frame of which is ready to be linked with a source page. Making your existing page
into a frameset is easy:
1. View the page you wish to become the frameset page.
2. Choose either Split Horizontal or Split Vertical from the Page menu.
The normal page outline and pasteboard will disappear and be replaced by two colored sections, dividing the area of the document
window in half. These areas are the frames you have created.
If the page already contains content when it is changed into a frameset page, it
is not lost in the process; and if you remove the frames from the page, the initial
content will be restored. The original page contents are output in the HTML
as Noframes content, which will not be displayed in frames-capable browsers,
although it will be downloaded in the background when the page is viewed,
increasing download time.
In the Site panel, frameset pages are differentiated from normal pages by a
different icon.
Noframes content
Noframes content is displayed when a frameset page is viewed using any browser which is not frames-capable, or when a frameset page
is viewed with the option to display frames turned off
There are two ways of creating Noframes content within Freeway. First, as described above, any content on the page before it is made
into a frameset page will be specified as Noframes content. Second, you may choose to edit the Noframes content by selecting the
Noframes view button at the bottom right of the window.
Some web publishers do not designate any Noframes content at all, but this can be unfair to users of other browsers who visit your site.
Without Noframes content being specified, visitors who come to your site with browsers which are not frames-capable see absolutely
nothing—not even an error message.
On each frameset page, you can define some Noframes content, which at the very least informs visitors without frames capability
why they aren’t seeing your site. It’s a good idea to provide Noframes visitors with an email address and basic contact details. You
may also wish to supply a list of links into the content pages of your site. This not only assists Noframes visitors, but can also help
some search engines to index your site more effectively.
Options for working with frames
The necessary options for working with frames are located at the foot of the Page menu, in the Inspector palette and in the Frames
palette menu. Note that there is a panel in the Inspector palette called the Frameset panel, which should not be confused with the
Frames palette itself.
Frameset General panel on the
left, with the
Frames palette on
the right.
Note: Link Map is not available in Freeway Express.
Frameset pages have a
different icon to normal
pages in the
Site panel.
