You can choose what is going to appear in each frame when a user opens the frames page. For example, the top frame might contain a header, the left frame a table of contents, and the right frame a welcome page.
Each time a user opens the frames page, the pages that you choose appear in the designated frames.
Creating hyperlinks between frames
You can create a hyperlink in one frame pointing to a Web page or Web site that opens in a different frame.
When a user clicks the hyperlink, the Web page or Web site opens in the designated frame. For example, in the left frame you have a hyperlink to a personnel Web page. When a user clicks the hyperlink, the Web page opens in the right frame.
You can also specify that a hyperlink will open a page in the same frame, in the "parent" frames page, or in a new window.
Setting default frames for hyperlinks
If you know how all hyperlinks should open in your frames page, you can specify a default target frame. When a user clicks a hyperlink anywhere in that frames page, it will appear in the frame that you specify.
You can specify a frame that you have named or specify that hyperlinks open in the same frame, in the "parent" frames page, or in a new window.
