HELP!! HOW TO PUT frame in HTML PAGE???????

Question

Hi!

I use Dreamweaver 8

I have a music website to do. Most of those site are in Flash.
But I choose to do it in HTML. When the visitor go on the site he got hear the music but when he click on a other page (The music got to continue...not start again and again)

So Frame is a good solution.
This is my problem

I had never really use frame before.
All I want it's a frame at the bottom that play a Flash Player.

When I put the frame on the page DreamWeaver ask me for save other html page (the page that will appear in the frame.)

But when I open the page (the main page)
The frame just don't appear on the page. It just look like 2 page have been create and got to be open seperatly.

How to put correctly a frame in a html page?

Thank You so much!

Answer 1

Well, first of all, the file name of your frame page will need to be named to replace the page that you want to show and the page that you want to show will have to be renamed and put in the top part of the frame and you will need a separate file for the bottom frame. All these files need to be uploaded together. An example frames page in HTML:

















<br /><br /> <P>This frameset document contains: <br /><br /> <UL> <br /><br /> <LI><A href="old_page.html">Some neat stuff</A> <br /><br /> <LI><A href="media_player.html">Media player</A> <br /><br /> </UL> <br /><br />







P.S. You can change the rows attribute to change the size of the frames.

Answer 2

In Dreamweaver 8:



File --> New



Select General tab



Choose Framesets



They have many to choose from



Alternatively, you can create a basic HTML page, then go to Insert --> HTML --> Frames --> and choose where you want a new frame to appear.



You see your frameset in the properties inspector or by choosing Window --> Frames

The following is just my simple example.

You can split your main page into 2 parts, the top and the bottom. The top part will display on content you want, and the bottom will display the music content.

Here is these HTML page:

-- The main page:









+ rows="80%,*" mean that the [top] frame will have 80% height of screen and the [bottom] frame will have 20% height remaining.

+ Name of the [top] frame is "top" and the [bottom] frame is "bottom"

+ The content of [top] frame is "header.htm" page, and the content of [bottom] frame is "music.htm" page.



-- The [header] page (will display in [top] frame):

The top part.

link here



This page content a text line and a hyperlink. The hyperlink will same as others hyperlink, but it has one more property: target="top". "top" mean the name of the [top] frame.



-- The [music] page:

In this page, you can put any thing you want, such as music, picture slideshow,....



-- Notes: if you want content of hyperlink will display in [top] frame, just add property [target="top"] for that hyperlink.
