Frames

Frames allow you to have multiple pages on one webpage. This means that you have various different elements of the page in separate areas, all which are controlled individually, usually by scroll bars.This feature allows you to easily have the same piece of information on all your pages of your website (for example the links column) without having to construct it various times. It also is a lot quicker when updating the site as you only have to change it once and it has changed on all the pages.In Dreamweaver, to insert frames, click on the Frames tab at the top of the page. This produces various options of frame positioning. The most common is to have a frame on the left side of the page (first blue/white button) or to have two frames, one at the top, one on the left (tenth button). Click on the desired button and a new column appears on the page. Here you can enter the text/graphics that you want in the frame.
