Freeway Reference: Working with Frames

193

Creating a new frameset within a frame

This technique is necessary when adding frames of a different orientation from the other frames in the window.

1. Select the frame by clicking inside it. A selection marquee will appear inside the selected frame.

2. Choose Split Vertical or Split Horizontal from the Frames submenu on the Page menu. A nested frameset will be created in the

frame, dividing the frame into two parts. Each of the two new frames can either be given a source page or subdivided further using

the Split Horizontal or Split Vertical command.

Adding more frames at the same level

1. Select one of the existing frames.

2. Choose Insert Frame… from the Frames submenu in the Page menu or click on the icon at the top right of the Frames

palette and choose Insert Frame…. A dialog appears allowing you to choose where the new frame is to be inserted.

3. Click OK. A new frame is added to the same frameset as the selected frame.

Using the mouse to add frames

It’s also possible to add frames using the mouse. You can do this by holding down the Alt key on the keyboard as you drag from the

edge of a frame.

Alt-dragging the dividing border between two frames in the same frameset will add a new frame at the same level.

Alt-dragging the border between a frame and the edge of the window will add a new frame in the same frameset or create a new

frame in an enclosing frameset.

Changing the orientation of the frames in a frameset

1. Select the frameset or a frame within it.

2. In the Current Frameset panel of the Inspector palette, use the Vertical checkbox to specify

whether the frames should be vertical (checked) or horizontal (unchecked).

Removing a frame

1. Select a frame.

2. Choose Delete Frame… from the Frames submenu on the Page menu or click on the icon at the top right of the Frames

palette and choose Delete Frame…. The selected frame will be deleted.

If you have only two frames, deleting one will delete the frameset altogether and revert the page from being a frameset page to a normal

one. If you attempt to delete one of the only two frames defined for a frameset page, Freeway will display a dialog box asking you to

confirm your choice.

Selecting frames

To select a frame, click within it using the Selection tool. You may also select

frames using the Frames palette. In both the document window and the Frames

palette, clicking on a frame will select it. Clicking on the border between two

frames will select the frameset that contains those frames. Clicking on the outer

border of the frames around the edge of the document window or the Frames

palette will select the outermost or top level frameset defined for the page.

Only one frame or frameset may be selected at any one time.

Power Tip: Using the

Frames palette

, you can select the enclosing

framesets of a frame by

Alt-clicking on the selected frame until the frameset

you want is selected.

Deselecting frames

To remove an active frame selection, you can hold down the Shift key while clicking inside the selected frame. In addition, clicking and

dragging with the mouse on an empty part of the page viewed within a frame will deactivate the frame selection, as will selecting an object

on the page viewed inside the frame.

Using the Frames palette

The Frames palette can be of great assistance in seeing the

structure of your framesets. It shows how the various framesets

on your page are nested, and the orientation and number of

frames within them. Put another way, it is a schematic view

of your frame set that will allow you to see how your frames

and framesets are organized. The dimensions of the frames

and framesets shown in the Frames palette do not reflect the

actual dimensions that are specified.
