HTML Frames (Frameset)

0 4701

HTML frames are generally used in an HTML program. It is used to split your browser window into numerous sections where every section can load an individual HTML document. In the browser window, a collection of frames is called a frameset. The window is separated into frames in the same way the tables are prepared: into columns and rows.

To build frames on a web page, we use <frameset> tag instead of using <body> tag. The <frameset> tag shows how to split the window into the frames. The rows feature of <frameset> tag shows horizontal frames and cols feature defines the vertical frames.

Each frame is signified by <frame> tag and it signifies which HTML page shall open into the frame.

Element:

cols: used for defined the columns

rows: used for defined the rows

name: used for indicate which frame a document should be loaded into your specified target.

scrolling: This attribute controls the scrollbars on the frame. This takes values either "yes", "no" or "auto".

For example scrolling="no" means it should not have scroll bars.

Execute

<frameset cols="25%,25%,10%" rows="25%,25%,10%">

<frame src="https://ontimeinfotech.com/">
<frame src="https://ontimeinfotech.com/">
