 Warning
From version 18, the framesets are available for backward compatibility with the former sites. However, they are not supported in HTML 5 and they are not recommended for the referencing and/or for the navigation from mobile devices. We advise you to replace the framesets by pages that share page templates and/or control templates.
By default, a frameset is used to display several pages in the same window of the browser. One of the pages displayed in the frameset can be a frameset itself: we talk of "Nested framesets". The nested framesets can be used to perform outstanding page layout for example. For example: Nesting the framesets To nest the framesets: - Display the main frameset in the page editor.
- Select the frame where the frameset should be displayed. The outline of selected frame appears in red.
- On the "Page" pane, in the "Edit" group, expand "Frame" and select "In support frame".
- Display the description of the support frame ("Description" from the popup menu of the support frame).
- Select the project page corresponding to the frameset to display.
Caution: The frameset will not be displayed in the editor but only when the project or the page is run. - The initial status of the frameset is automatically updated: the new initial status of the frameset takes the support frame into account.
Caution: Most browsers do not support the recursive nesting of framesets. You cannot:- nest the frameset N in the frameset N.
- nest a frameset containing the frameset N in the frameset N.
Changing a support frame into a standard frame To transform a support frame into a "normal" frame: - Display the main frameset in the page editor.
- Select the support frame. The outline of selected frame appears in red.
- On the "Page" pane, in the "Edit" group, expand "Frame" and select "In standard frame".
Caution: This operation does not change the initial status of the current frameset: the initial status still contains the support frame. To define the initial frameset status, on the "Page" pane, in the "Edit" group, expand "Frame" and select "Define the initial status". |
