as simply clicking a button or choosing an option from a menu, it's still fairly simple: To delete a frame from a frameset, click and drag the frame border of the unwanted frame off the page. The frame is removed from the frameset. TIP If you can't see the frame borders, enable them by selecting the Frame Borders option from the Visual Aids menu in the Document bar.   To prepare for the rest of the examples in this chapter, close all Document window instances except for the first one you created using the New Document window method.           Adjusting Frame Attributes With the frameset now created and open, you're ready to begin adjusting attributes for the three frames in the frameset.

Place your cursor in the top frame (don't select it from the Frames panel) and choose the Page Properties option from the Modify menu. The Page Properties dialog appears. 2. Set the background image by browsing to the file header_bg.gif located in the Images folder of our project. 3. Click OK. This action effectively creates a new document-wide style with one tag redefinition for the <body> tag in this frame. You're probably asking yourself, "Why didn't we modify the <body> tag redefinition in our external style sheet
