Today we looked at iFrames, or floating frames. Unlike frames, iframes creates a frame that sits in the middle of a reg non-frames page. So technically instead of having a whole portion of a page, it will create a custom square in the middle of the page to be positioned wherever is necessary, again a useful tool for later on.

Like yesterday, Mr. Chiarelli showed us how to do it in both First Page and DreamWeaver, and again, I liked DreamWeaver better, it makes everything so much easier! We also took a look to navegation bars, which is probably the best situation to use frames, you have yo nav bar on the main page, and then when you click on a menu, the page will be displayed on the other frame.
