You can incorporate this into your existing web site in a variety of ways:
Framing / IFraming
This method involves a web technique that essentially "splits" a web page into sections that, when viewed on screen, appear as one page to the viewer. One usage of this method is to provide a common, static navigational element in one part of the screen while the content that changes appears in another part. You've probably visited a web site where one side of the screen stays still while the other side scrolls - this is Framing.Click here to see an example of a web site that uses frames.
Spawning
This refers to the technique of causing a new browser window to open when a screen element is clicked. This is the method used to open the link above that shows how to use frames. We'll use it again below to open the Search function with no frames surrounding it. When you finish looking at the Search, close the window to return here.Click here to see an example of a new page being spawned.
