Warning
From version 18, the framesets are available for backward compatibility with the former sites. However, they are not supported in HTML 5 and they are not recommended for the referencing and/or for the navigation from mobile devices.
We advise you to replace the framesets by pages that share page templates and/or control templates.
Overview
WEBDEV proposes several methods for creating a frameset:
Creating a blank frameset
To create a blank frameset:
  1. Create a blank page:
    • Click in the quick access buttons. The creation window appears: click "Page" then "Page". The page creation wizard starts.
    • click "Page" then "Blank".
    • Validate.
  2. On the "Page" pane, in the "Edit" group, expand "Frame" and select "New blank frameset".
  3. Add (if necessary) frames to this frameset:
    • On the "Page" tab, in the "Edit" group, expand "Frame" and select "Vertical" to perform a vertical split.
    • On the "Page" pane, in the "Edit" group, expand "Frame" and select "Horizontal" to perform an horizontal split.
  4. Save the frameset: on the "Page" tab, in the "Edit" group, expand "Frame" and select "Save the frameset". Specify the name of each page found in the frameset as well as the name of the frameset.
    The pages and the frameset correspond to ".WWH" files. By default, these files are created in the main directory of the project.
  5. Associate the frames with pages. For more details, see Associating a frame with a page.
Remark: It is important to specify the type of the frameset (static or dynamic) according to the type of pages displayed ("General" of the frameset description). For more details, see Static frameset and dynamic frameset.
Creating a preset frameset
To create a preset frameset:
  1. Click in the quick access buttons.
    • The creation window appears: click "Page" then "Page".
    • The page creation wizard starts.
  2. In the wizard, click the preset "Frameset" template.
  3. Choose the type of frameset.
  4. Validate the frameset creation. The frameset is created.
  5. Save the frameset: on the "Page" tab, in the "Edit" group, expand "Frame" and select "Save the frameset". Specify the name of each page found in the frameset as well as the name of the frameset.
    The pages and the frameset correspond to ".WWH" files. By default, these files will be created in the main directory of the project.
  6. Associate the frames with pages. For more details, see Associating a frame with a page.
Remark: It is important to specify the type of the frameset (static or dynamic) according to the type of pages displayed ("General" of the frameset description). For more details, see Static frameset and dynamic frameset.
