Note:
You can’t remove a frameset entirely by dragging borders. To remove a frameset, close the Document window that
displays it. If the frameset file has been saved, delete the file.
Resize a frame
•
To set approximate sizes for frames, drag frame borders in the Document window’s Design view.
•
To specify exact sizes, and to specify how much space the browser allocates to a row or column of frames when
the browser window size doesn’t allow the frames to display at full size, use the Property inspector.
Select frames and framesets
To make changes to the properties of a frame or frameset, begin by selecting the frame or frameset you want to
change. You can select a frame or frameset either in the Document window or by using the Frames panel.
The Frames panel provides a visual representation of the frames within a frameset. It shows the hierarchy of the
frameset structure in a way that may not be apparent in the Document window. In the Frames panel, a very thick
border surrounds each frameset; each frame is surrounded by a thin gray line and is identified by a frame name.
In the Document window’s Design view, when a frame is selected, its borders are outlined with a dotted line; when
a frameset is selected, all the borders of the frames within the frameset are outlined with a light dotted line.
Note:
Placing the insertion point in a document that’s displayed in a frame is not the same as selecting a frame. There
are various operations (such as setting frame properties) for which you must select a frame.
