Using behaviors with frames

You can apply a number of behaviors that take advantage of the way frames operate. Frames are usually used when the Web page designer wants to control the display of content on a Web page. There are several behaviors that facilitate changing the contents of a frame.

	Set Text of Frame replaces the content and formatting of a frame with the content you specify. The content can include any valid HTML. Use this action to dynamically display information. See Set Text of Frame.
	Go to URL opens a new page in the current window or in the specified frame. This action is particularly useful for changing the contents of two or more frames with one click. See Go to URL.
	Insert Navigation Bar is used to direct a user to specific pages in a Web site. You can attach behaviors to navigation bar images and set which image displays based on a user's actions. For example, you may want to show a button image in its Up or Down state to let a user know which page of a site is being viewed. See Inserting a navigation bar.
	Insert Jump Menu lets you set up a pop-up menu list of links that open files in a browser window when clicked. You can also target a particular window or frame in which the document will open. See Inserting a jump menu.
