Navigating in Frames



HOW THE BACK BUTTON WORKS WITH FRAMES

As you may know, the Back button lets you review pages that you've just visited by recalling the URL of an entire screen or frameset. It doesn't, however, call up the URL of the last frame you viewed. So, if you press the Back button when you simply want to revisit a previously chosen frame, you'll find yourself further back than you meant to be.

GOING BACK INSIDE A FRAME

If you're using a Macintosh, you can go back one frame by positioning your cursor inside the frame that originally displayed the information you're seeking and holding down the mouse button. A pop-up menu will appear. Choose Back in Frame, and the frame will fill with the information that last appeared in that frame. Repeating the process will step you back through everything you viewed in that frame in reverse order. Windows and Unix users can click the right mouse button to make the pop-up menu appear. It's also possible that you'll start out in a frame and follow a link to a window designed without frames. In this case, the frames you've been seeing will disappear. Now, pressing the Back button will lead you back to the last framed page.

BOOKMARKING A FRAME

The easiest way to create a bookmark on our site is by hiding frames temporarily. To do this, click the Hide Frames option at the bottom of the bottom left frame. Choose Add Bookmark. To restore frames to the page, click the Show Frames button on the navigation bar at the bottom of the page. To create a bookmark in any frameset, position your cursor over the link you'd like to bookmark and hold down the mouse button. When the pop-up menu appears, choose Add Bookmark for this Link. Please note that if you choose to create a bookmark for the entire page, it will bookmark the URL for the original frameset, which may not be the bookmark you meant to choose.

PRINTING A PAGE

To print a page, select the frame you want to print by clicking in it. Then, from the File menu, select Print Frame.
