iNavigate Global Properties Frames Settings: controls the overall frames layout and configuration for your site.



Index File
The index file is the html file defining the overall frame layout for the site. You can browse for the file by clicking the adjacent button. When you enter or select a valid file name, iNavigate will extract the frame names and put these into the combo boxes for Menu Frame and Body Frame.

Menu File
The menu file is the html file which will contain the iNavigate menu structure. You can browse for the file by clicking the adjacent button.

Menu Frame
The Menu Frame is the name of the frame (defined in the Index File) which will display the iNavigate menu structure (defined in the Menu File). If you have entered a valid file name for the Index File, iNavigate will have extracted the frame names into this combo box for you to select.

Body Frame
The Body Frame is the name of the frame (defined in the Index File) which will display the actual html pages defined in the iNavigate menu structure. If you have entered a valid file name for the Index File, iNavigate will have extracted the frame names into this combo box for you to select.

Generate Re-Framing Code
Selecting the Generate Re-Framing Code check box causes iNavigate to generate code to cause body pages to "re-frame" themselves if they are ever loaded into a browser outside their frame context.

This typically happens with internet search engines which list the body pages directly (their crawlers traverse the index and menu files to the body pages).

Generate <NOFRAMES> Links
Selecting the Generate <NOFRAMES> Links check box causes iNavigate to generate a <NOFRAMES> section in the Index File (inside the outermost <FRAMESET>).

The <NOFRAMES> section is generated to contain vanilla html versions of all the links in the iNavigate menu structure.

This can help some internet search engines to find their way to the body pages. The <NOFRAMES> section would also be displayed to visitors with old non-frames browsers, giving them the opportunity to navigate through to the body pages.
