How can I make Frames my Home Page?

There are three parts to using Frames.  The Frameset, Frames and No Frames page. The Frameset is a web page that holds the other frames.  The contents for each Frame are actually separate pages loaded into a frame. The No Frames page displays for browsers that do not display frames.

To use Frames for your Home Page, rename the Frameset page to Default.htm or whatever your web uses for the default home page.  Then set the initial page for each frame in the frameset to show the contents you want loaded first.

To create the No Frames page click on the No Frames tab in FrontPage Editor.  If desired, the Include Page component can be used to add the contents of the several frames.
