HTML | Tag
HTML Frames are a powerful tool for dividing your web browser window into multiple sections, each capable of loading content independently. This is achieved using a collection of frames within a frameset tag. However, it’s important to note that the <frame> tag is deprecated in HTML 5.
Creating Frames:
Creating frames in HTML involves using the <frameset> tag instead of the <body> tag. Each frame is defined by the <frame> tag, which specifies the HTML document to be loaded into the frame. The row attribute is used to define horizontal frames, while the col attribute is used for vertical frames. Here’s an example of how to create three horizontal frames using the row attribute of the frameset tag.
Example:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Example of HTML Frames using row attribute</title>
</head>
<frameset rows = "20%, 60%, 20%">
<frame name = "top" src =
"C:/Users/dharam/Desktop/attr1.png" />
<frame name = "main" src =
"C:/Users/dharam/Desktop/gradient3.png" />
<frame name = "bottom" src =
"C:/Users/dharam/Desktop/col_last.png" />
<noframes>
<body>The browser you are working does
not support frames.</body>
</noframes>
</frameset>
</html>
Output:
The above example basically used to create three horizontal frames: top, middle and bottom using row attribute of frameset tag and the noframe tag is used for those browser who doesn’t support noframe.
Example:
This example illustrates the col attribute of frameset tag.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Example of HTML Frames Using col Attribute</title>
</head>
<frameset cols = "30%, 40%, 30%">
<frame name = "top" src =
"C:/Users/dharam/Desktop/attr1.png" />
<frame name = "main" src =
"C:/Users/dharam/Desktop/gradient3.png" />
<frame name = "bottom" src =
"C:/Users/dharam/Desktop/col_last.png" />
<noframes>
<body>The browser you are working does
not support frames.</body>
</noframes>
</frameset>
</html>
Output:
The above example basically used to create three vertical frames: left, center and right using col attribute of frameset tag.
Attributes of Frameset tag:
cols: The cols attribute is used to create vertical frames in web browser. This attribute is basically used to define the no of columns and its size inside the frameset tag. The size or width of the column is set in the frameset in the following ways:

<frameset cols = "300, 400, 300">
Use percentage value Example:
<frameset cols = "30%, 40%, 30%">

<frameset cols = "30%, *, 30%">
