Creating a nested frameset

A frameset inside another frameset is called a nested frameset. Each new frameset you create includes its own frameset HTML document and frame documents. Most Web pages that use frames are actually using nested frames, and several of the predefined framesets in Dreamweaver also use nesting.

For example, a document with three frames might display a company's logo in a frame at the top of the document, navigation controls in a frame on the left side of a document, and content in a third frame.

To create a nested frameset:

1	Place the insertion point in the frame where you want to insert a nested frameset.
2	Do one of the following:
	Choose Modify > Frameset > Split Frame Up, Down, Left, or Right.
	In the Frames category of the Objects panel, select a frameset icon.
	Choose Insert > Frames > Left, Right, Top, Bottom, Left and Top, Left Top, Top Left, or Split.
