In the text we describe frames as a powerful new addition to the HTML language.
Frames allow you to manage portions of a page as if they are separate pages (which, as you will see, they are!),
altering the contents of one section while leaving another the same. Frames also afford us tremendous
flexibility in defining new pages, because we can use previously defined and debugged pages as our building
blocks. We use this lab to show you an example of a page composed of frames and then have you apply the
technique to your home page.

In all of the recent lab exercises for this module you've been viewing framed pages. Frames are what allowed us to display and manage the pop-up windows (showing HTML code and a version of our home page) that are common to these pages. |
|
You can get a better appreciation for how these pages have been defined by viewing the source code for the pop-up page that opened in its own window when this page was loaded. Its body is a frameset, which in turn identifies and places two frames within it. Most modern browsers2 allow you to look at the HTML code for the individual frames used to compose a page as well. |
