What are frames?

<body> <h1>What Are Frames?</h1> <p>Frames allow the author to split a web page into many different windows or panels. Each window of the <b>frameset</b> could actually contain a completely independent web page; even a page from another website.</p> <p>Many designers will use one window of the frameset as a navigational device which is used to send various content pages to a designated window.</p> <p>Each window can be set to scroll its content or not to scroll.</p> <p>There are designers who claim to be able to create a frames website without using frames. They call it <b>frameless frames</b>. The only resemblance between the two is the scrolling feature. If the only feature of frames that you are interested in is scrolling web pages, don't waste you time with frames. Study a little CSS and learn how to make static HTML pages scroll.</p> <h2>Why Don't More Authors Use Frames?</h2> <p>The number one reason why more people don't create websites using frames is the <b>Search Engine Myth</b>. Most people don't know how to set up a frames site for search engine spiders to crawl. If you don't set them up properly they can't be crawled. <p>If you do the extra work, which I'll show you in this tutorial, your website will rank right along side of a conventional HTML static page website. <p>The second reason why more people don't use frames is because of the extra work involved to do them properly. <h2>Are There Advantages?</h2> <p>There are some advantages to building a website with frames. <p>It is easier to add new pages to a frames website. If you build your frames site using a navigational frame the link to the new page need only be added to the links page. <p>On a conventional HTML website, with a properly configured navigation system, you might need to add the link to the new page to every page in the website. <p>It is also easier to redesign a frames website. A complete redesign of a conventional website requires one to change every web page. In a frames world you would only need to change the frameset pages.</p> <p>If you think of frame windows as channels as some developers do, the possibilities are endless for presenting different articles, pages or media types in different windows all at the same time on the same web page.</p> <br> <a href="http://www.create-a-website-with-frames.com/content-index.html">Create a Website With Frames</a> <a href="http://www.create-a-website-with-frames.com/content-definition.html">What are frames?</a> <a href="http://www.create-a-website-with-frames.com/content-frameset.html">The Frameset</a> <a href="http://www.create-a-website-with-frames.com/content-source.html">Frames Source Pages</a> <a href="http://www.create-a-website-with-frames.com/content-scrolling.html">Frames Scrolling and Stuff</a> <a href="http://www.create-a-website-with-frames.com/content-noframes.html">Noframes</a> <a href="http://www.create-a-website-with-frames.com/content-redirection.html">Frames Redirection</a> <a href="http://www.create-a-website-with-frames.com/content-kit.html">The Frames Kit</a> <a href="http://www.create-a-website-with-frames.com/content-resources.html">Other Frames Resources</a> <a href="http://www.create-a-website-with-frames.com/content-contact.html">Contact Questions on How to Create a Website With Frames</a> <a href="http://www.create-a-website-with-frames.com/">Create a Website With Frames</a> <a href="http://www.create-a-website-with-frames.com/definition.html">What are frames?</a> <a href="http://www.create-a-website-with-frames.com/frameset.html">Frameset Tag</a> <a href="http://www.create-a-website-with-frames.com/kit.html">Frames Kit</a> <a href="http://www.create-a-website-with-frames.com/noframes.html">Noframes Tag</a> <a href="http://www.create-a-website-with-frames.com/redirection.html">Frames and Redirection</a> <a href="http://www.create-a-website-with-frames.com/resources.html">Other Frames Resources</a> <a href="http://www.create-a-website-with-frames.com/scrolling.html">Frames Scrolling and other Attributes</a> <a href="http://www.create-a-website-with-frames.com/source.html">Frames and Source Pages</a> <a href="http://www.create-a-website-with-frames.com/contact.html">Contact Questions on How to Create a Website With Frames</a> Copyright © 2008<br> Net Success 2000 Plus Inc<br> Somerset, KY, USA<br> </body>
