Multiple, independently scrollable frames in a single browser screen. Each frame can have its own URL.
|
Frames can be used to place static objects within the window, such as banners, table of contents, control bars, copyright notices, etc.
|
Frames also provide the ability to view more than one information source, such as submitting a keyword for searching in one frame and viewing its results in another. Both can be on the screen at one time.
|
In an html frame document, the tags <frameset> . . . </frameset> replace the <body> tags of a normal html document. The frameset tag can have one of the attributes:
-
ROWS="rowheightvaluelist" where each value is either in pixels or a percent.
-
COLS="columnwidthlist", also is pixels or percents.
|
Within the frameset tags, only the tags, <frame>, <noframes>, and <frameset> . . . </frameset> (for nested frames) can appear.
-
The <noframes> tag pair can give a normal html body for browsers that don't have frames.
