Modifying frameset document properties
Like any other Web document, a frameset document has various properties that apply to the document as a whole. However, most of the properties of a frameset document have no effect in Web browsers that support frames—most of the properties are only relevant when a browser does not support frames and thus displays the content of the frameset document itself rather than the frames it defines.
Some properties of frameset documents do take effect, even when the frameset is opened in a browser that supports frames. These properties are listed below.
- In the General tab:
- Title — The frameset document’s title is displayed in the browser’s title bar.
- Author, Classification, Description, and Keywords — Although these properties have no effect in a browser, they can be used by Internet search engines to find and categorize the frameset document.
- In the Styles tab:
- Page transitions — The selected effect will occur when the frameset is opened.
- Background sound — The specified sound will play when the framset is opened.
- In the Advanced tab:
- Auto refresh/redirect — When the frameset is opened, the specified URL will be opened automatically after the specified length of time.
To modify frameset document properties
- On the Layout menu, go to the Property group, and then click Frameset Properties.
