Frames in ASP.Net

**brucevde** · Mar 16th, 2004, 12:41 AM

I am brand new to ASP.Net (and really web programming). I am developing a web site and I need to know how to implement Frames - actually the concept of frames.

Basically, I need to keep some content visible at all times. At the top, left and bottom of the page.

I know Frames are not recommended but what are my options, (strictly ASP.Net speaking).

Just a pointer in the right direction is all I need.

Here is some basic frame code.

Code:

<html>
 <head>
 </head>
 <frameset cols="1*,1*">
 <frame name=Frame2 >
 <frameset rows="1*,1*">
  <frame name=Frame1 >
  <frame name=Frame4 >
 </frameset>
 <noframes>
  <body >
  <div >
  <p><span >This page uses frames, but your browser
  doesn't support them.</span></p>
  </div>
  </body>
 </noframes>
</frameset>
</html>

What HTML editor are you using?

Please excuse my ignorance.

I am using Visual Studio .Net 2003. I thought it generated the HTML code - there was nothing for me to do in HTML.

All I want is to create non-scrolling regions - at the top, left and bottom of the screen.

Right now I see.

I went into VS.Net 2003 and although the frames menu item is enabled you cannot add frames to either a html page or a aspx page. I could understand it with aspx pages but not html pages.

Another way of doing it is to have a HTML table with 3 rows and 2 columns. the top, bottom rows and left columns would probabley be narrower. In the middle right cell you could put an Iframe. You can load pages in to it as a normal frame, it will scroll.

Other than this I am no further into ASP.NET than you.

Using the VS IDE, add a "NEW ITEM" and on the "Template" (Right Side), choose FRAMESET instead of WEBFORM or HTML PAGE.
