Before you can preview a frameset in a browser, you must save the frameset file and all of the documents that will display in the frames. You can save each frameset file and framed document individually, or you can save the frameset file and all documents appearing in frames at once.
NOTE |
|
When you use visual tools in Dreamweaver to create a set of frames, each new document that appears in a frame is given a default filename. For example, the first frameset file is named UntitledFrameset-1, while the first document in a frame is named UntitledFrame-1. |
If the frameset file has not previously been saved, these two commands are equivalent.
This saves all open documents in the frameset, including the frameset file and all framed documents. If the frameset file has not yet been saved, a heavy border appears around the frameset in the Design view, and a dialog box enables you to select a filename. For each frame that hasnt yet been saved, a heavy border appears around the frame and a dialog box enables you to select a filename.
NOTE |
|
If you used File > Open in Frame to open a document in a frame, then when you save the frameset, the document you opened in the frame becomes the default document to be displayed in that frame. If you dont want that document to be the default, dont save the frameset file. |
