Adding Advanced Design Features Part III
In this Technique, you set the text navigation links to work properly with the frameset. Three links open pages
within the frameset and a fourth opens a page outside the frameset.
1. Re-open the frameset previously saved, frames_start.htm.
2. In the bottom frame, select the text Home.
3. From the Property inspector, drag the Link point-to-file icon to the home_fr.htm file.
4. Select mainFrame from the Target list.
Dreamweaver automatically adds the names of frames in the current frameset to the Target list.
5. Repeat steps 2??“4, with the text Sales and the file sales_fr.htm.
6. Repeat steps 2??“4 again, with the text Rentals and the file rentals_fr.htm. Make sure that
you set the Target list to mainFrame for both the previous links.
7. Select the final text phrase, About Us, and drag the Link point-to-file icon to the about.htm
file. Because about.htm is a standard HTML file and not part of the frameset, you??™ll choose a
different target.
8. From the Target list, choose _top.
9. Save your page and press F12 (Option+F12) to preview the frameset.
When you try the navigation links, you notice that the first three links open their pages within the
frameset as expected whereas the fourth link, about.
