Frame Templates

In case you're not quite sure about designing frame sets, here are some templates to either work through or copy. Just find the pattern that you want and then copy the code.

To save space (and make things clearer) I've omitted most of the tag attributes. You can add these and adjust frame sizes as needed.

2 Frames: Horizontal

<FRAMESET ROWS="100,*">
