HTML - Frames

Frames allow dividing an HTML page into multiple sections or frames. A frameset defines the layout of frames on a page, specifying attributes like columns and rows. Common uses of frames include a menu frame on the left and content frame on the right. The src attribute links each frame to an HTML page. Other attributes control scrolling, borders, and whether frames can be resized.

HTML - FRAMES

Basic Web
Structures

WHAT ARE FRAMES


Frames are most typically used to have a menu in one frame,
and content in another frame.
When someone clicks a link on the menu, that link is then
opened in the content page.
Here is a classic example of a basic "index" frameset with a
menu on the left and content on the right

HTML CODE
<html>
<body>
<frameset cols="30%,*">
<frame src="menu.html">
<frame src="content.html">
</frameset>
</body>
</html>

FRAME SET
frameset - The parent tag that defines the characteristics of
this frames page. Individual frames are defined inside it.
frameset cols="#%, *" - The width that each frame will have.
In the above example, we chose the menu (the 1st column) to
be 30% of the total page and used a "*", which means the
content (the 2nd column) will use the remaining width for
itself (70%).

FRAME SET
frame src="" - The URL of the web page to load into the frame.
A good rule of thumb is to call the page which contains this
frame information "index.html", as that is typically a site's
main page.

ADDING A BANNER OR TITLE FRAME


<html>
<body>
<frameset rows="20%,*">
<frame src="title.html">
<frameset cols="30%,*">
<frame src="menu.html">
<frame src="content.html">
</frameset>
</frameset>
</body>
</html>

FRAMEBORDER AND FRAMESPACING


frameborder="#" - Determines whether there will be a border.

border="#"- Modifies the border width.

framespacing="#" -Modifies the border width, used by Internet


Explorer.

GUESS THE OUTPUT


<frameset border="0" frameborder="0"
framespacing="0" rows="20%,*">
<frame src="title.html">
<frameset border="0" frameborder="0"
framespacing="0" cols="30%,*">
<frame src="menu.html">
<frame src="content.html">
</frameset>
</frameset>

FRAME NAME AND FRAME TARGET


<html>
<body>
<frameset rows="20%,*">
<frame name="title" src="title.html">
<frameset cols="30%,*">
<frame name="menu" src="menu.html">
<name="content" src="content.html">
</frameset>
</frameset>
</body>
</html>

FRAME NAME AND FRAME TARGET


<html>
<head>
<base target="content">
</head>
<body>
<!-- Content Goes Here -->
</body>
</html>

NORESIZE AND SCROLLING


noresize - Determines whether the frames can be resized by
the visitor or not. (values "true" and "false")
scrolling - Determines whether scrolling is allowed in the
frame or not (values "true" and "false")
We set the scrolling for our content frame to "yes" to ensure
our visitors will be able to scroll if the content goes off the
screen.
We also set the scrolling for our title banner to no, because it
does not make sense to have a scrollbar appear in the title
frame.
