This is a sample document to show some uses of frames
Rather than explain the preparations for the audit (the supposed topic of this document), the body of this page, and the other pages to which it is linked, will be:
An explanation of how this page works:
Please read this entire page scrolling down using the scrollbar as the text continues to see all of the details. When you are done with this page and the other pages in this sample document, use the "When to use frames writeup" link at the bottom to return to the Good Documents Technique that brought you here.
This page is designed for browser windows between 640x480 and 1024x768 in size to best show the effects. If you are running in a larger window, set your browser size to something in this range. The maximum size is to ensure that you need to scroll.
Also, the font size is assumed to be "medium" for Microsoft Internet Explorer or the default (variable width font set to size 12) for Netscape Navagator, or smaller.
With these settings, you should see a light yellow frame at the top, one on the left, and one on the bottom, and one scrollbar to the right of this text -- no other scrollbars.
The top area shows the title of this page of the document.
The left area shows:
•
An image and title identifying this entire document
•
Links to related documents (the "See also" links)
•
A group of links to common areas of the Acme Corporation corporate Intranet, including a "mailto" link
The bottom yellow area has links to other pages in this document. The page you are reading is in bold; the others are normal but are underlined links.
The "When to use frames writeup" link on the bottom is a link back to the Good Documents page that linked to this document. Use it when you are finished reading this sample.
Try using the links on the bottom to move from page to page of this document. You will notice that it gives you a "You Are Here" indication through the use of bold.
The other links on the page (the See Also links, and the "Acme" corporate links) go to a deadend page in this example. They would go elsewhere in the corporate Intranet in a real situation. The mailto link goes to comments@gooddocuments.com.
Now
we
have
lots
of
lines
of
text
to
make
it
long
so
that
it
scrolls...
and
scrolls
and
scrolls
(almost
done).
Hopefully, you have had to scroll at this point.
Note how the title is still visible, as well as the bottom links and the side links, even as we scroll.
This sample document has a separate frameset for each of the 4 pages. It uses the "target=_top" attribute of the <A> tag on links. Therefore, all of the frames are replaced when you follow links.
It is bookmarkable. There is a unique URL for each page in this sample.
This is the end of this page. Try using the links that are still visible. After you try these framed pages, you may want to try the tables version of the same contentto see the difference when the links scroll off the screen.
