Foil 53 General Syntax of <FRAMESET> Tag

From JavaScript Tutorial for Certificate Course UC Web applications Certificate -- Summer 97. by Geoffrey C. Fox, Tom Scavo
<FRAMESET ROWS="rlist" COLS="clist"> ...
</FRAMESET>
where rlist and clist are a comma-separated list of values (but typically one of these attributes is omitted and nested framesets are used instead)
Following <FRAMESET> there must be the correct number of frames defined either by a <FRAME> tag or by a nested <FRAMESET> ... </FRAMESET>
rlist and clist are a mixture of
  • absolute number (such as 100) specifying pixels to be allocated
  • percentage (such as 30%) specifying percentage of available space
  • * notation where a single * means all the remaining space
  • rows="50,2*,*,*" means first frame gets 50 pixels while remaining 3 frames get 50%,25%,25% respectively of remaining space
