This exercise is designed to help begin familiarizing you with frames. In this exercise you will create a raw frames layout that includes spanning rows and one that includes spanning columns.

Part I: Spanning Rows (index_rows.html)

Begin by:

Download these 5 "skeleton" XHTML pages that will be the "content" for the frames. Name each of these documents "frame_a.html", "frame_b.html", and so forth up to "frame_e.html".
- These documents will be used by both parts of this exercise.
- Each of these already uses the strict DTD.
Now create a frames document based upon the image shown below, that uses the files you just created. Name this file index_rows.html.
- Every <frame> tag should have src and title attributes. The title attribute is required for accessibility compliance.
- In the frames document, be sure to include a <noframes> section, such as the following. The <noframes> code goes inside the <frameset> tag. It should be the last set of tags before the final closing </frameset> tag:
  . . .
  <noframes>
  <body>
  <h2>Sorry your browser does not support frames.</h2>
  </body>
  </noframes>
  </frameset>

Part II: Spanning Columns (index_cols.html)

Now create a frames document based upon the image shown below, that uses the files you just created. Name this file index_cols.html.
- Every <frame> tag should have src and title attributes. The title attribute is required for accessibility compliance.
- In the frames document, be sure to include a <noframes> section, such as the following. The <noframes> code goes inside the <frameset> tag. It should be the last set of tags before the final closing </frameset> tag:
  . . .
  <noframes>
  <body>
  <h2>Sorry your browser does not support frames.</h2>
  </body>
  </noframes>
  </frameset>
