Frames and Frameset

Frames and Frameset

I would like to load a webpage with frames as a resource for a topic. I loaded frameset files into a directory, expecting that the page would come up when I click on frameset file. I get the message "no file found" for each frame. The frameset loads correctly when I go to it directly, outside of Moodle. Further, is there a best way to have a stored page come up as a resource? I appologize for posting what is probably a simple problem.

My understanding of frames is that the "frameset" page defines the frames and which pages go into them, for example a page called MyPage.html might look like below:

Left Frame

Right Frame

Left frame would have a page called left.html and similarly the right frame might be right.html

Both these assets would need to be in the same location as the MyPage.html page.

The page below might explain it better than I have.

Hope that made sense.

Make sure that you have slasharguments set correctly in admin >> config >> variables.   You want the version without the '?' in it.
