USING DREAMWEAVER
Laying out pages with HTML
Last updated 3/28/2012
Note: If you used File > Open in Frame to open a document in a frame, then when you save the frameset, the document
you opened in the frame becomes the default document to be displayed in that frame. If you don’t want that document
to be the default, don’t save the frameset file.
View and set frame properties and attributes
Use the Property inspector to view and set most frame properties, including borders, margins, and whether scroll bars
appear in frames. Setting a frame property overrides the setting for that property in a frameset.
You may also want to set some frame attributes, such as the title attribute (which is not the same as the name attribute),
to improve accessibility. You can enable the accessibility authoring option for frames to set attributes when you create
frames, or you can set attributes after inserting a frame. To edit accessibility attributes for a frame, use the Tag
inspector to edit the HTML code directly.

View or set frame properties
1 Select a frame by doing one of the following:
Alt-click (Windows) or Shift-Option-click (Macintosh) a frame in the Document window’s Design view.
Click a frame in the Frames panel (Window > Frames).
2 In the Property inspector (Window > Properties), click the expander arrow in the lower-right corner to see all of
the frame properties.
3 Set the frame Property inspector options.
Frame Name The name used by a link’s target attribute or by a script to refer to the frame. A frame name must be a
single word; underscores (_) are allowed, but hyphens (-), periods (.), and spaces are not. A frame name must start with
a letter (as opposed to a numeral). Frame names are case-sensitive. Don’t use terms that are reserved words in
JavaScript (such as top or navigator) as frame names.
To make a link change the contents of another frame, you must name the target frame. To make it easier to create
cross-frame links later, name each of your frames when you create it.
Src Specifies the source document to display in the frame. Click the folder icon to browse to and select a file.
Scroll Specifies whether scroll bars appear in the frame. Setting this option to Default doesn’t set a value for the
corresponding attribute, allowing each browser to use its default value. Most browsers default to Auto, meaning that
scroll bars appear only when there is not enough room in a browser window to display the full contents of the current
frame.
No Resize Prevents visitors from dragging the frame borders to resize the frame in a browser.
Note: You can always resize frames in Dreamweaver; this option applies only to visitors viewing the frames in a browser.
Borders Shows or hides the borders of the current frame when it’s viewed in a browser. Selecting a Borders option for
a frame overrides the frameset’s border settings.
Border options are Yes (show borders), No (hide borders), and Default; most browsers default to showing borders,
unless the parent frameset has Borders set to No. A border is hidden only when all frames that share the border have
Borders set to No, or when the parent frameset’s Borders property is set to No and the frames sharing the border have
Borders set to Default.
