Lotus Domino Designer 6.5 Help - Structuring your display

APPLICATION DESIGN

Structuring your display
For an application interface to be intuitive and efficient, it must make good use of the user's screen. One way for a designer to accomplish this is to use framesets.

A frameset is a collection of frames. A frame is one section, or pane, of the larger frameset and is independently scrollable. By using framesets, designers can create links and relationships between frames. Framesets let you leave one page displayed as users scroll or link to other pages or databases. There is no HTML required to design a frameset.

Designer lets you:

Create an effective multi-paned user interface for your applications.
Control frame attributes such as size, scrolling, border colors and width, and frame spacing.
Determine frame source content at runtime.
Create programmable links that are maintained automatically.
Set a frameset to launch automatically when a database, form, or page opens.
