Creating HTML Frames

HTML frames allow a browser window to be divided into multiple sections that can each load a separate HTML document. Frames are defined using the <frameset> tag which divides the window layout into rows and columns. Individual frames are then specified using the <frame> tag along with the src attribute to define the HTML page loaded into each frame. While frames were commonly used in the past, they have disadvantages like inconsistent rendering across devices and issues with the back button.

Creating HTML Frames

HTML frames are used to divide a browser window into multiple sections where each section
can load a separate HTML document (page).

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.

Unlike a standard web page, a frame page is created without using the body tag.

HTML frames tags:-

Opening tag Explanation Closing tag


<frameset> Used to specify the frame </frameset>
layout in terms of rectangular
subspaces.

Frameset tag attributes:

(i) Cols: defines


horizontal frames
(ii) Rows: defines
vertical frames

<Frame> Specifies the webpage that is Not required


displayed on the created
frame.

<frame> tag attribute:

Src: specifies the webpage or


website to be displayed on the
created frame.

Disadvantages of Frames

(i) Some smaller devices cannot cope with frames often because their screen is not big
enough to be divided up.
(ii) Sometimes your page will be displayed differently on different computers due to different
screen resolution.
(iii)The browser's back button might not work as the user hopes.
(iv) There are still few browsers that do not support frame technology.

Creating Frames

To create frames on a page use <frameset> tag instead of <body> tag. The <frameset> tag
defines how to divide the window into frames. The rows attribute of <frameset> tag defines
horizontal frames and cols attribute defines vertical frames. Each frame is indicated by <frame>
tag and it defines which HTML document shall open into the frame.
