The Frame Sources
They look like this:
<FRAME NAME="left" SRC="left.html" MARGINWIDTH="3" MARGINHEIGHT="10" SCROLLING="no">
<FRAME NAME="main" SRC="mainwindow.html" MARGINWIDTH="3" MARGINHEIGHT="10">
The frame sources are that same as you have used in the
past. Each is given a target name so that the links in the left side targets
the information to the larger right window. Again, see the frame tutorial for gobs on how to target frame HREF links.
But just as a quick refresher, the format for targeting a link in this frame set up would be:
<A HREF="mainpage.html" TARGET="main">Click Here</A>
I have set the MARGINHEIGHT and MARGINWIDTH to my liking.
You can play with the sizes to get the text closer or further from the actual seam. Any
centering of text is done on the source page itself using the <CENTER> and
</CENTER> commands.
Notice also that a SCROLLING="no" command was added to the
left side frame to eliminate the scroll bar should you run into a page that has its
screen settings lower than you had hoped. That would kill the entire effect.
I have also included a test link on the left to show that you can
bring in outside pages using this format. If the outside page has the same background
then the effect stays. If not, then the effect dies.
That should do it. The effect can be compounded by just adding
more frames to the mix. You could create many seamless connections. The problem comes
when you shift the pages or link to a new page (try a link on the left for the effect). That pesky scroll bar shows up and
it's all defeated.
