What are frames? Frames are a way that you can display more than one
page of HTML at once. A frameset page defines the number and position of areas in the browsers display window and references the individual content pages which will display in those areas. Each area of the frameset is
called a frame and is identified by a unique name so that the browser knows which page to display where. You can apply frames easily in NetObjects Fusion using the AutoFrames option available in MasterBorders. For more
information on how to apply AutoFrames to your site, see our User Guide, Chapter 11, Working with AutoFrames. How can I include meta tags on a framed
page? To include meta tags for framed pages, add the meta tags you are interested in to the Master HTML for your page. When
AutoFrames are applied to your MasterBorders the Master HTML applies information entered there to the frameset document, instead of the layout document of each page using that MasterBorder. For more information on using
the Master HTML see our User Guide, Chapter 26, Working with HTML Directly. Also visit e-Fuse magazine
site for tips on how to implement META tags and make your site accessible to search engines. How can I make images line up across two frames so that the
images appear to touch? NetObjects Fusion by default puts extra space in the dimensions for a frame created with the AutoFrames feature. The
reason this is done is because all browsers, to a certain degree, crop frames when they are displayed. To remove this padding, select the frame properties by right clicking in the frame and choosing Frame Properties
from the pop-up menu. On the Frames property sheet, uncheck the checkbox Enable Margin Padding. This sets all frames to the exact dimensions of your margins, and sets all margins in the frame definitions to zero.
There is a bug in NetObjects Fusion 4.0 where the margins in the frame definition are not set to zero if the page is published using any of the CSSP or Layers options for HTML generation. How do I target links in frames? You can target your links with the targeting drop-down list available
in all link dialogs when using AutoFrames. The drop-down lists are only available when the AutoFrames option has been selected. For more information on targeting links in AutoFrames, see our User Guide, Chapter 11,
Working with AutoFrames. If you are scripting your own framesets, you will need to make a custom external link to include the target. This procedure is outlined in our User Guide, Chapter 26, Working with HTML Directly.
