Congratulations. You have now learned how to make and use frames. There is one more question that must be answered though. This question is of high importance.

Should you?

Here's the rule of thumb on frames. If there is any other way to present the data without using frames, then don't use frames. Don'y use them just because you can, but only if they enhance your page. Often, the creative use of tables will work better than frames. If that is the case, use the tables. Frames don't always work right.

You try it!
Idea: Use frames on a page.

Here's How: This is a set of frames involving three pages. There is a column to the right and a split-screen on the left. To view this page correctly, you will need access to the pages names larry,moe, and curly.

<html>
<head>
<title> My Page </title>
</head>
<frameset cols="80%,*" bordercolor="red">
<frameset rows="50%,*" bordercolor="purple">
<frame src="larry.html" name="top">
<frame src="curly.html" name="bottom">
</frameset>
<frame src="moe.html" name="right">
</frameset>
<noframes>
If you are seeing this information, your browser doesn't support frames. Sorry.
</noframes>
</body>
</html>

Now it's your turn. Try making a frameset of your own. Experiment!
