1. Select a frame in the frameset.

2. Choose Frame - Frame properties. The Frame Properties box appears.

3. On the Basics tab, provide a name for the frame.

Make sure that each frame has a unique name. Using the same name for frames in different framesets is not recommended. For example, if you have a frame named Banner in more than one frameset, you may get unexpected results when you set it as a target frame.

Note that you should not use HTML predefined target names to name a frame ( _self, _top, _parent, and _blank).

• Link

Link requires that you paste in a link that you've already copied to the Clipboard. Click the Paste icon to paste in the link. There are three kinds of links you can paste in from the Clipboard: View, Document, or Anchor. (Database links are not supported in framesets.)

For more information on links, see the topic "Creating Links" in the chapter "Designing Pages."

• Named Element

A named element is a design element that you have already created and named. A named element can be a page, form, frameset, view, folder, or navigator.

Enter a value (for example, if you already created a page named PAGE1, enter it into the Value field). Alternately, you can click one of the following icons:

• Formula icon (@) to use a formula that evaluates to a name.
• Paste icon to paste in a name which you previously copied to the Clipboard.
• Folder icon to open the Locate Object dialog box and select a design element from a list of elements.

If you choose Named Element - View or Folder, several options appear:
• Show action bar displays the View action bar when the view or folder is loaded into the frame.
• Show header displays the column headings.
• Selection tracks mouse movement - as you move the mouse over the view, the view selects the document the mouse is pointing to.
• Basic simple appearance - enables several miscellaneous options, including such options as showing strike-through text when an item is marked for deletion, not allowing the scroll bar to be hidden, not extending selection in the selection margin when the mouse moves, using a simple grid for calendar views, and defaulting to a 1-day format for calendar views.
• If you want a view or folder on the Web, consider first embedding the view or folder on a page or form. If you choose to make the embedded view an embedded view applet, you preserve much of the HTML view functionality and provide features such as resizeable columns, multiple document selection, and scrolling.
• URL

To put a Web page into a frame, choose URL and enter the full URL specification (for example, http://www.lotus.com). You can also paste in a URL or use a formula that evaluates to a URL. You receive an error in the frame if the URL you specify is not accessible. Note that all content rendered in framesets in IBM® Lotus® Domino(TM) Designer uses the native IBM® Lotus® Notes® Web browser even if your current browser selection is something else.

When you click a link in a Web page (in the Notes client or in a Web browser), the link may open within the same Web page or in a new window, depending on the setting for that Web page.
