Selecting frames and framesets in the Frames panel

Selecting frames and framesets in the Frames panel

The Frames panel provides a visual representation of the frames within a frameset. It shows the hierarchy of the frameset structure in a way that may not be apparent in the Document window. In the Frames panel, a very thick border surrounds each frameset; each frame is surrounded by a thin gray line and is identified by a frame name.

This is a picture of the feature being described.

To display the Frames panel:

  • Select Window > Frames.

To select a frame in the Frames panel:

  • Click the frame in the Frames panel.

    A selection outline appears around the frame in both the Frames panel and the Document window’s Design view.

To select a frameset in the Frames panel:

  • Click the border that surrounds the frameset in the Frames panel.
