Adobe 38040334 - Dreamweaver CS3 User Manual page 213

If you have set up Dreamweaver to prompt you for frame accessibility attributes, select a frame from the pop-up
2
menu, enter a name for the frame, and click OK. (For visitors who use screen readers, the screen reader will read this
name when it encounters the frame in a page.)
Note: If you click OK without entering a new name, Dreamweaver gives the frame a name that corresponds to its position
(left frame, right frame, and so on) in the frameset.
Note: If you press Cancel, the frameset appears in the document, but Dreamweaver does not associate accessibility tags
or attributes with it.
Select Window > Frames to view a diagram of the frames you are naming.
Create an empty predefined frameset
1 Select File > New.
In the New Document dialog box, select the Page from Sample category.
2
3 Select the Frameset folder in the Sample Folder column.
Select a frameset from the Sample Page column and click Create.
4
5 If you have activated the frame accessibility attributes in Preferences, the Frame Tag Accessibility Attributes dialog
box appears; complete the dialog box for each frame and click OK.
Note: If you press Cancel, the frameset appears in the document, but Dreamweaver does not associate accessibility tags
or attributes with it.
Create a frameset
❖
Select Modify > Frameset, then select a splitting item (such as Split Frame Left or Split Frame Right) from the
submenu.
Dreamweaver splits the window into frames. If you had an existing document open, it appears in one of the frames.
Split a frame into smaller frames
•
To split the frame where the insertion point is, select a splitting item from the Modify > Frameset submenu.
•
To split a frame or set of frames vertically or horizontally, drag a frame border from the edge into the middle of
the Design view.
• To split a frame using a frame border that isn't at the edge of the Design view, Alt-drag (Windows) or Option-drag
(Macintosh) a frame border.
•
To divide a frame into four frames, drag a frame border from one of the corners of the Design view into the middle
of a frame.
To create three frames, start with two frames, then split one of them. It's not easy to merge two adjacent frames
without editing the frameset code, so changing four frames into three frames is harder than changing two frames into
three frames.
Delete a frame
❖
Drag a frame border off the page or to a border of the parent frame.
If there's unsaved content in a document in a frame that's being removed, Dreamweaver prompts you to save the
document.
