Abstract

A file management method is used to display an index file having a frame structure made up of a plurality of windows by a browser which does not support a frame function. The file management method includes the steps of specifying, as a base target, at least one specific window within the index file, and including contents of the specific window in a non-frame tag part of the index file, so as to eliminate the need to manage two kinds of files and to simplify the file management.
