Tips
for Using Frames
First,
create a frameset like you would for any HTML document.
You
may want to use three frames: a top frame for advertising or site
navigation, a left side frame for navigation within the Web Crossing
area, and a main content frame. This is just a suggestion - there
are hundreds of ways to set up a frameset.
Once
you've decided how you want it set up, you can have Web Crossing
serve the main content pages itself. Where the frameset asks for
the source for the HTML page for that frame, you will put the
URL to Web Crossing that you normally use to view your Web Crossing pages.
The
navigation frames can be manually built, or you can create a Web
Crossing server-side scripting template
which Web Crossing will serve.
Building
a navigation area manually is easy, but you'll have to be sure
to update it as new content is added to your site. Find the elements
you want to link to, and right-click (or control-click if you're
using a Mac) to bring up the contextual menu. One of the options
there is Copy link to clipboard. Choose that. Then in your
HTML document, paste in the URL you've copied to create a link.
Remove everything between the two "@" signs, (it's an
identifying certificate),
and write your HTML around the URL you pasted in. Make sure you
target the correct content frame, and you're set.
See the section on Web Crossing URLs for more information.
Troubleshooting
My page
isn't loading in the right frame.
- If
you click on a link in a frame and that same frame reloads rather
than loading the designated content frame, check the target
attribute of your link.
