With frames, more than one HTML document in can be displayed in the same browser window. Each HTML document is called a frame, and each frame is independent of the others.
The disadvantages of using frames are:
- The web developer must keep track of more HTML documents
The Frameset Tag
- The <frameset> tag defines how to divide the window into frames
- Each frameset defines a set of rows or columns
- The values of the rows/columns indicate the amount of screen area each row/column will occupy
The Frame Tag
· The <frame> tag defines what HTML document to put into each frame
In the example below we have a frameset with two columns. The first column is set to 25% of the width of the browser window. The second column is set to 75% of the width of the browser window. The HTML document "frame_a.htm" is put into the first column, and the HTML document "frame_b.htm" is put into the second column:
<frameset cols="25%,75%">
<frame src="frame_a.htm">
<frame src="frame_b.htm">
</frameset>
If frame borders are visible, the user can resize it by dragging the border. Resizing can be prevented by adding noresize="noresize" to the <frame> tag.
Add the <noframes> tag for browsers to avoid frames.
Important: You cannot use the <body></body> tags together with the <frameset></frameset> tags! However, if you add a <noframes> tag containing some text for browsers that do not support frames, you will have to enclose the text in <body></body> tags! See how it is done in the first example below
