Setting frameset properties

Use frameset properties to set borders and frame size. Setting a frame property overrides the setting for that property in a frameset. For example, setting border properties in a frame overrides the border properties set in the frameset.

Predefined framesets are used to quickly apply a frameset to a document. Predefined framesets share the following default property values: no borders, no scroll bars, and no resizing of frames when viewed in a browser. To change the default values, select the options you want in the Property inspector.

To view frameset properties:

1	Choose Window > Properties to display the Property inspector, if it isn't already open.
2	Do one of the following:
	Click a border between two frames in the Document window.
	Click the border that surrounds the frames in the Frames panel.
3	To see all the frameset properties, click the expander arrow in the lower right corner of the Property inspector.

To specify frameset properties:

1	Select a frameset.
2	In the Borders pop-up menu, select whether you want to display borders around frames when the document is viewed in a browser.
	If you want to display borders, select Yes.
	If you don't want to display borders, select No.
	If you want the user's browser to determine how borders are displayed, select Default.
3	In the Border Width field, type a number to specify the width of the borders in the current frameset.
4	In the Border Color field, use the color picker to select a color for the border, or type the hexadecimal value for a color.
5	To select frame size options, click the tabs on the RowCol Selection box to select a row or the tabs on top to select a column. Then in the Value field, type a number to set the size of the selected row or column, and in the Units pop-up menu, set the unit of measure for the number in the Value field.
