Framer
The Framer component for Interaction makes it easier and more intuitive to author with Frames. It allows you to use XML to define all frames in one document instead of as multiple files, making frames similar to defining tables. Inspect the markup of this page for an advanced example of how a framed page can be defined in one document.
The Framer allows your visitors to disable the frames for the duration of their stay. Author the framed and non-framed version in the same document. Interaction automatically generates the two versions of the page as well as all frames.
