Frames can add a little extra character to any website. People seem to be fascinated by scrolling windows. In the past frames could present problems with search engines. Today with a little extra work even a frames site can ride the top of the search engine databases.
One of the most helpful tools in setting up for indexing is redirection. We show 2 types of redirection on this mini site. One method uses javascript and the other uses a meta statement in the head section of an HTML document.
If you want more information on these two methods of redirecting web pages you should go to the lessons in our HTML 4.0 Online tutorial. Check out the lessons on Frames and Search Engines and Meta Tags.
You can actually see the first method in action as you read the lessons. Watch as the pictures change in the bottom frame window on the left. Some sites use this method to rotate advertisements on their main frameset page. Proceed to Using Meta Tags to see how it is done.
