HTML frame Tag

The HTML frame tag is used to specify each frame within a frameset. For example, you can have a left frame for navigation and a right frame for the main content. For each frame, you specify the frame with the frame tag.

Also see HTML iframe tag for inline frames, and HTML noframes tag for how to deal with browser that don't support frames.

Example


<html>
<head>
<title>Frameset page<title>
</head>
<frameset cols = "25%, *">
  <noframes>
  <body>Your browser doesn't support frames.
  Therefore, this is the noframe version of the site.</body>
  </noframes>
  <frame src ="/html/tags/frame_example_left.html" />
  <frame src ="/html/tags/frame_example_right.html" />
</frameset>
</html>
