<ST_FrameLayout> (Frameset Layout Order)

This simple type specifies the possible order in which the frames (and nested framesets) in a frameset may be displayed. When a frameset is created, it can only contain frames which are stacked in one direction:

  • Vertically (one on top of another)

  • Horizontally (one next to another)

example:

The frameset properties for this document are specified by the following WordprocessingML within the web page settings:

<w:frameset>
  <w:frameLayout w:val="rows" />
  <w:frame>
    …
  </w:frame>
  <w:frameset>
    <w:frameLayout w:val="cols" />
    <w:frame>
      …
    </w:frame>
    <w:frame>
      …
    </w:frame>
  </w:frameset>
</w:frameset>

The <frameLayout> element specifies that the outer frameset is consists of the single frame and the child frameset stacked vertically, and an inner nested frameset consisting of two frames stacked horizontally. ]
