Rather than explaining how to make a frame page with Page Builder I want you to make one! After you have this simple frame page working then you can read my explanation of what is going on.

The right side is where other pages will be shown or displayed. Other forms of frame pages will be discussed in my explanation later on.


HOW TO MAKE YOUR FRAME PAGE

You will make the column frame page in the three steps.

  1. Make three pages that will be shown in the right frame . Name these three pages intro, page1, and page2.

  2. Make the menu page, which will contains the links to other pages that will be shown (displayed) in the right side.

  3. Make the actual frame page , myframepage, the file that will show the frames.

Then, you will display your frame page.

To do the steps above you need to start up PAGE BUILDER. If you don't have PAGE BUILDER running in another window then CLICK HERE TO START UP PAGE BUILDER IN ANOTHER WINDOW!. When PAGE BUILDER had been loaded and you can see the edit screen, which may have a web page of yours displayed, then click here, STEP ONE to start making your first frame page.

By having Page Builder in one window and this help page in another window, you can easily switch back and forth between the two window, i.e. you don't need to copy down these instructions.
