• To select the first child frame or frameset of the currently selected frameset (that is, first in the order in which they’re
defined in the frameset file), press Alt+Down Arrow (Windows) or Command+Down Arrow (Macintosh).
Open a document in a frame
You can specify the initial content of a frame by either inserting new content into an empty document in a frame, or
opening an existing document in a frame.
1 Place the insertion point in a frame.
2 Select File > Open in Frame.
3 Select a document to open in the frame, and click OK (Windows) or Choose (Macintosh).
4 (Optional) To make this document the default document to display in the frame when the frameset is opened in a
browser, save the frameset.
Save frame and frameset files
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.
Save a frameset file
❖ Select the frameset in the Frames panel or the Document window.
• To save the frameset file, select File > Save Frameset.
• To save the frameset file as a new file, select File > Save Frameset As.
Note: If the frameset file has not previously been saved, these two commands are equivalent.
Save a document that appears in a frame
❖ Click in the frame, then select File > Save Frame or File > Save Frame As.
Save all files associated with a set of frames
❖ Select File > Save All Frames.
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 (or the unsaved frame) in the Design view,
and you can 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 don’t want that document
to be the default, don’t save the frameset file.
View and set frame properties and attributes
Use the Property inspector to view and set most frame properties, including borders, margins, and whether scroll bars
appear in frames. Setting a frame property overrides the setting for that property in a frameset.
