Opening a document in a frame

You can specify the initial content of a frame by either inserting new content into an empty
document in a frame, or opening an existing document in a frame.
To open an existing document in a frame:
Place the insertion point in a frame.

Select File > Open in Frame.
2
Select a document to open in the frame, then click OK (Windows) or Choose (Macintosh).

frameset is opened in a browser, save the frameset.

Saving frame and frameset files

Before you can preview a frameset in a browser, you must save the frameset file and all of
the documents that will display in the frames. You can save each frameset file and
framed document individually, or you can save the frameset file and all documents appearing
in frames at once.
Note: When you use visual tools in Dreamweaver to create a set of frames, each new document that
appears in a frame is given a default filename. For example, the first frameset file is named
UntitledFrameset-1, while the first document in a frame is named UntitledFrame-1.
To save a frameset file:
Select the frameset in the Frames panel or the Document window (see
1
framesets" on page
Do one of the following:
