With frames, you can display more than one Web
page in the same browser window.
Frames
Each HTML
document is called a frame, and each frame is independent of the other.
The disadvantages of using frames are:
- The web developer must keep track of more HTML documents
- It is difficult to print the entire page
The
Frameset Tag
- 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
The Frame Tag
- The <frame> tag defines what HTML document to put into each
frame
