NetObjects Fusion's AutoFrames makes it easy add frames to your site. When your AutoFrame contains a navigation bar, NetObjects Fusion automatically creates the links to display the pages in your site that it references. However, you might want to create a custom link that displays something else in an AutoFrame, such as a URL or an anchor. These notes tell how.

Overview
You must understand how HTML frames work before you can successfully target an AutoFrame in a custom link. For example, when you create a frame in an HTML editor or in NetObjects Fusion's scripting interface, you first create a page that defines the frameset. Then, you create content pages that appear within the frames. Within the content pages, you can set up targeted links that specify which frame will display the target of links launched from that content page. To learn how to do this and more with scripted frames, see Using Scripted Frames.
To make an AutoFrame the target of a link, you must know the name of the frame and, if you want the link to display a page within your site, the name and path of the HTML file that contains its content.
In these notes, you will learn:
1. How to create a frameset using AutoFrames.
2. How NetObjects Fusion names your frames.
3. How NetObjects Fusion names the HTML files that contain your frames' content.
4. Where NetObjects Fusion saves your frame files, and how they are used.
5. How the browser refreshes your frames.
6. How to create custom links in your frames that
- Display a URL in the Layout frame
- Display another page from your site in the Layout frame
- Display an anchor in the Layout frame
- Display a URL or page in the frame of your choice
- Display a page in the full browser window without frames
