                  |  You'll 
                need to give each of your frames a unique name. The easiest naming 
                scheme is just to call name them by their location. If you have 
                a three frame page, you could name them topFrame, leftFrame, and 
                mainFrame. You'll use this name to target links to specific frames

                  |  This is the location of the document that will be displayed 
                      in the frame by default. You can use the target icon or 
                      the browse folder to find the document you want.

                  |  This 
                sets the margins for the inside of your frames. I tend to leave 
                this alone, and set my margins directly on the page being displayed 
                inside the frame.

                  |  Checking this box fixes the size of your frames, so that 
                      your viewer can't change it. Leaving this box unchecked 
                      will allow your viewer to drag the frame borders to suit 
                      their preferences.
 |   
              
                 
                  |  Choose 
                whether or not you want a border around your frame. Choose no 
                if you are going to try and match up images across frames. Choose 
                yes if you want a definite division between frames, or want your 
                viewer to be able to resize them (hard to find what you should 
                click and drag if you can't see it).

                  |  This determines the color of your frame borders. It can't 
                      always be relied upon to work correctly between different 
                      browsers.

                  |  This 
                nifty little box shows you how many cols and rows you have in 
                your framest, as well as a nifty little picture of your frames 
                (which may not be quite accurate with larger framesets).

                  |  This 
                dropdown determines whether there are borders for the *entire 
                frameset*.
 |   
              
                 
                  |  Same deal here. Just sets the color for the borders on the 
                      entire frameset.
 |   
              
                 
                  |  This sets the size of the actual border between frames. 
                      It works similar to the border of a table. The larger the 
                      number, the thicker the line between frames.
 |   
              
                 
                  |  Here's 
                where you set the actual width of each of your frames. Setting 
                the value to percentage or relative will allow your frames to 
                stretch to fit the viewer's browser. At least one frame from *every* 
                frameset should be set to relative, to ensure things flow correctly.

                  |  This 
                box shows you which frame is selected (the darkened one), and 
                allows you to click any adjacent frames to select them. It's very 
                handy for switching back and forth between frames.

 The Frames InspectorsWhether ya love 'em or hate 'em is immaterial. Here's how you use 
              the frame inspectors. There is an inspector for the actual frames, 
              and a separate inspector for the frameset.  The Frames Inspector
