Frameset

HTML frames allow dividing the browser window into multiple sections using the <frameset> tag. <frameset> defines rows and columns to split the window and <frame> elements load separate HTML documents into each section. Attributes like rows, cols specify the layout and sizes of each frame. src specifies the file loaded into each frame.

HTML FRAMESET

HTML frames are used to divide your browser window into multiple sections
where each section can load a separate HTML document. A collection of
frames in the browser window is known as a frameset. The window is divided
into frames in a similar way the tables are organized: into rows and
columns.The <frameset> tag defines a frameset.

The <frameset> element holds one or more <frame> elements. Each


<frame> element can hold a separate document.

The <frameset> element specifies HOW MANY columns or rows there will be
in the frameset, and HOW MUCH percentage/pixels of space will occupy each
of them.

<html>

<head>

<title>HTML Frames</title>

</head>

<frameset rows = "10%,80%,10%">

<frame name = "top" src = "/html/top_frame.html" />

<frame name = "main" src = "/html/main_frame.html" />

<frame name = "bottom" src = "/html/bottom_frame.html" />

The <frameset> Tag Attributes


Following are important attributes of the <frameset> tag −

Sr.No Attribute & Description

1
cols

Specifies how many columns are contained in the frameset and the size
of each column. You can specify the width of each column in one of the
four ways −

Absolute values in pixels. For example, to create three vertical frames,


use cols = "100, 500, 100".

A percentage of the browser window. For example, to create three


vertical frames, use cols = "10%, 80%, 10%".

Using a wildcard symbol. For example, to create three vertical frames,


use cols = "10%, *, 10%". In this case wildcard takes remainder of the
window.

rows

This attribute works just like the cols attribute and takes the same
2 values, but it is used to specify the rows in the frameset. For example, to
create two horizontal frames, use rows = "10%, 90%". You can specify
the height of each row in the same way as explained above for columns.

border

3 This attribute specifies the width of the border of each frame in pixels.
For example, border = "5". A value of zero means no border.

frameborder

This attribute specifies whether a three-dimensional border should be


4
displayed between frames. This attribute takes value either 1 (yes) or 0
(no). For example frameborder = "0" specifies no border.

framespacing

This attribute specifies the amount of space between frames in a


5
frameset. This can take any integer value. For example framespacing =
"10" means there should be 10 pixels spacing between each frames.

The <frame> Tag Attributes


Following are the important attributes of <frame> tag −
Sr.No Attribute & Description

src

1 This attribute is used to give the file name that should be loaded in the
frame. Its value can be any URL. For example, src =
"/html/top_frame.htm" will load an HTML file available in html directory.

name

2 This attribute allows you to give a name to a frame. It is used to indicate


which frame a document should be loaded into.

frameborder

This attribute specifies whether or not the borders of that frame are
3 shown; it overrides the value given in the frameborder attribute on the
<frameset> tag if one is given, and this can take values either 1 (yes) or
0 (no).

noresize

By default, you can resize any frame by clicking and dragging on the
6
borders of a frame. The noresize attribute prevents a user from being
able to resize the frame. For example noresize = "noresize".

scrolling

This attribute controls the appearance of the scrollbars that appear on


7
the frame. This takes values either "yes", "no" or "auto". For example
scrolling = "no" means it should not have scroll bars.
