HTML Frameset Tag

HTML frameset Tag-

A framed document divides a browser window into multiple panes, or smaller window frames. Each frame may contain a different document. A frame is an independent scrolling region, or window, of a webpage. The <frameset> tag in HTML is used to define the frameset. The <frameset> element contains one or more frame elements. It is used to specify the number of rows and columns in frameset with their pixel of spaces. Each element can hold a separate document. 

The contents of one frame can be manipulated, or linked, to the contents of another. This enables designers to build sophisticated interfaces. For example, one frame can contain links that produce a result in another frame.

The <frameset> tag defines how to divide the window into frames. Each frameset defines a set of rows or columns. The values of the rows/columns indicate the amount of screen area each row/column will occupy.

Note: The <frameset> tag is not supported in HTML5.

Syntax-

<frameset cols = "pixels or %">

Example-

<frameset cols="25%,75%">

<frame src="frame_a.htm">

<frame src="frame_b.htm">

</frameset>
