HTML FRAMES

INTRODUCTION
 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.
Disadvantages of Frames

There are few drawbacks with using frames, so it's never


recommended to use frames in your webpages −
 Some smaller devices cannot cope with frames often
because their screen is not big enough to be divided up.
 Sometimes your page will be displayed differently on
different computers due to different screen resolution.
 The browser's back button might not work as the user
hopes.
 There are still few browsers that do not support frame
technology.
Creating Frames

 To use frames on a page we use <frameset> tag


instead of <body> tag.
 The <frameset> tag defines, how to divide the
window into frames.
 The rowsattribute 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.
Example to create three horizontal
frames
<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" />
</frameset>
</HTML>
Creating vertical frames
 <frameset cols = "25%,50%,25%">
The <frameset> Tag Attributes
 cols
Specifies how many columns are contained in the frameset.
You can specify the width of each column in one of the
following ways −
1. Absolute values in pixels. For example, to create three
vertical frames, use cols = "100, 500, 100".
2. A percentage of the browser window. For example, to
create three vertical frames, use cols = "10%, 80%,
10%".
3. 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 values, but it is used to specify the
rows in the frameset.
 border
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 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 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
 src
This attribute is used to give the file name that
should be loaded in the frame.
 name

This attribute allows you to give a name to a


frame. It is used to indicate which frame a document
should be loaded into. T
 marginheight
This attribute allows you to specify the height of the
space between the top and bottom of the frame's
borders and its contents. The value is given in pixels.
For example marginheight = "10".
 scrolling
This attribute controls the appearance of the
scrollbars that appear on the frame. This takes
values either "yes", "no" or "auto". For example
scrolling = "no" means it should not have scroll bars.
 noresize

By default, you can resize any frame by clicking


and dragging on the borders of a frame. The
noresize attribute prevents a user from being able
to resize the frame.
For example noresize = "noresize".
Adding a Banner or Title Frame

 Add a row to the top for a title and graphics with


the code as follows:

Title of the page

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

</html>
Frame's name and target attributes
Test.html

<html>
<head>
<title>HTML Target Frames</title>
</head>
<frameset cols = "200, *">
<frame src = "/html/menu.html" name = "menu_page"
>
<frame src = "/html/main.html" name = "main_page" >
</frameset>
</html>
Menu.html
<html>
<body bgcolor = "#4a7d49">
<a href = “d:/table.html" target = "main_page">html tables</a>
<br >
<br >
<a href = “d:/link.html" target= "main_page">html links</a>
<br />
<br />
<a href = “d:/image.html" target = "main_page">html images</a>
</body>
</html>
Main.html
<html>
<body bgcolor = "#b5dcb3">
<h3>This is main page and content from any link will
be displayed here.</h3>
<p>So now click any link and see the result.</p>
</body>
</html>
