Operation Manual

132 External / Managed Content

To create a framed site:

1. Select the page on which you would like to add a frame.

From the Quick Build tab (External/Managed Content

category), click Document Frame.

3. Drag the cursor across your page to define the size and shape of your

frame.

4. A dialog is displayed immediately into which you can apply various

framed document settings. Choose from:

• HTML ID: This is the uniquely assigned identifier for the frame.

Normally this doesn't need to be changed.

• Active Document Frame: Check to allow hyperlinks to open a

page in a frame on another page.

5. From the Contents tab, specify a link destination. Choose an icon

representing a page in your site, e.g. Site Page, Internet page, Smart

object, or a file on your hard disk.

6. Set the Frame Contents Information (the page name, internet page,

etc.) which will differ depending on the link destination.

7. Click OK.

Absolute URLs

Since frames divide a web page into panes which each display their own HTML

document, you need to make sure that each part of the frame is referenced using

absolute URLs. To use Absolute URLs, you will need to set a Site Base URL—the

part of the URL common to all pages, e.g. www.serif.com. WebPlus will use this

to create the rest of the URL, making the absolute URL.
