Using behaviors with frames
You can apply a number of behaviors that take advantage of the way frames
operate. Frames are usually used when the Web page designer wants to control the
display of content on a Web page. There are several behaviors that facilitate
changing the contents of a frame.
•
Set Text of Frame
replaces the content and formatting of a frame with the
content you specify. The content can include any valid HTML. Use this action
to dynamically display information. See “Set Text of Frame” on page 461.
•
Go to URL
opens a new page in the current window or in the specified frame.
This action is particularly useful for changing the contents of two or more
frames with one click. See “Go to URL” on page 454.
•
Insert Navigation Bar
is used to direct a user to specific pages in a Web site. You
can attach behaviors to navigation bar images and set which image displays
based on a user’s actions. For example, you may want to show a button image
in its Up or Down state to let a user know which page of a site is being viewed.
See “Inserting a navigation bar” on page 372.
•
Insert Jump Menu
lets you set up a pop-up menu list of links that open
files in a browser window when clicked. You can also target a particular
window or frame in which the document will open. See “Inserting a jump
menu” on page 369.
