Note: It’s generally easier to select framesets in the Frames panel than in the Document window. For more information,
see the above topics.
Select a different frame or frameset
• To select the next or previous frame or frameset at the same hierarchical level as the current selection, press
Alt+Left Arrow or Alt+Right Arrow (Windows), or Command+Left Arrow or Command+Right Arrow
(Macintosh). Using these keys, you can cycle through frames and framesets in the order in which they’re defined
in the frameset file.
• To select the parent frameset (the frameset that contains the current selection), press Alt+Up Arrow (Windows)
or Command+Up Arrow (Macintosh).
• 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.
