| Because IFRAMEs (Inline Frames) function very
similarly to Frames, it is not difficult to work with them and DHTML Menu Builder. It is highly recommended that you first read the information on how to work with
standard frames.
The basic difference between the standard frames support and
the IFRAMEs support provided by DHTML Menu Builder is that when
using IFRAMEs, DHTML Menu Builder will provide an additional
frame named "top".
This frame refers to the document that contains all the IFRAMEs
and should be the one pointed to by the "Frames Document"
setting.
Knowing this, here are some common scenarios and a brief
explanations on how DHTML Menu Builder should be set up:
- The hotspots and the menus will be on the document that
contains the IFRAMEs
In this case, frames support must be disabled and the only
document that requires the loader code is the container for
the IFRAME.
- The hotspots are on the Frames Document but the menus
will be displayed inside an IFRAME
This is very similar to the way the standard frames support
works: the Loader Code is installed in the IFRAME container document
and the Frames Loader Code is installed in all the documents
displayed inside the IFRAME.
- The hotspots and the menus will be displayed inside an
IFRAME
In this case frames support must be disabled and all the
documents displayed inside the IFRAME must contain the Loader
Code.
DHTML Menu Builder supports an infinite number of nested IFRAMEs,
which means that you can have any number of IFRAMEs placed
inside another IFRAME.
