Choose Window > Properties to open the Property inspector. Click the
expander arrow in the lower right corner to see all the properties.

To name the frame, type a name in the Frame Name field.
Note: Frame Name determines the name of the current frame to use for hyperlink target
and scripting references. A frame name should be a single word. Underscores (_) are
allowed, but hyphens (-), periods (.), and spaces are not. Frame names should start with
a letter (as opposed to a numeral). Don’t use JavaScript reserved words (such as
top
or
navigator ) for frame names.

Choose from the following frame options:
•
Src determines the source document for the frame. Enter a file name or click
the folder icon to browse to and select the file. You can also open a file in a
frame by placing the pointer in the frame and choosing File > Open in Frame.
•
Scroll determines whether scroll bars appear when there is not enough room to
display the content of the current frame. Most browsers default to Auto.
•
No Resize restricts the size of the current frame and prevents users from dragging
the frame borders. You can always resize frames in the Document window;
however, if this option is selected a user can’t resize frames in their browser.
•
Borders controls the border of the current frame. The options are Yes, No, and
Default. Choosing a Borders option overrides border settings defined for the
frameset. (See “Setting frameset properties” on page 214.) Most browsers
default to Yes. A border can be turned off only when all adjacent frames are set
to No or when they are set to Default with the parent frameset set to No.
•
Border Color sets a border color for all borders adjacent to the current frame.
This setting overrides the border color of the frameset..
5
Set the following margin options (if margin options aren’t visible, click the
expander arrow in the lower right corner):
Margin Width
sets the width in pixels of the left and right margins (the space
between the frame border and the content).
Margin Height
sets the height in pixels of the top and bottom margins (the
space between the frame borders and the content).
