HTML 5 <frameset> tag


Definition and Usage

The frameset element defines a frameset. It is used to organize multiple windows (frames). Each frame holds a separate document. In its simplest use, the frameset element states only how many columns or rows there will be in the frameset.

 The <frameset> tag is not supported in HTML 5 because it had a negative affect to the usabillity of a web page.


Differences Between HTML 4.01 and HTML 5

The <frameset> tag is not supported in HTML 5


Tips and Notes

Note: You cannot use the <body></body> tags together with the <frameset></frameset> tags! However, if you add a <noframes> tag containing some text for browsers that do not support frames, you will have to enclose the text in <body></body> tags!


Example

Source Output
<a href="planets.htm" target="_blank">View this page for the result</a>

The source code in "planets.htm":
<html>
<frameset cols = "25%, 25%,*">
  <frame src ="venus.htm" />
  <frame src ="sun.htm" />
  <frame src ="mercur.htm" /> 
</frameset>
</html>

Frameset with noresize="noresize"
How to use the "noresize" attribute. The frames are not resizable. Move the mouse over the borders between the frames and notice that you can not move the borders.

Navigation frame
How to make a navigation frame. The navigation frame contains a list of links with the second frame as the target. The file called "tryhtml_contents.htm" contains three links. The source code of the links:
<a href ="frame_a.htm" target ="showframe">Frame a</a><br>
<a href ="frame_b.htm" target ="showframe">Frame b</a><br>
<a href ="frame_c.htm" target ="showframe">Frame c</a>
The second frame will show the linked document.

Jump to a specified section within a frame
This example demonstrates two frames. One of the frames has a source to a specified section in a file. The specified section is made with <a name="C10"> in the "link.htm" file.

Jump to a specified section with frame navigation
This example demonstrates two frames. The navigation frame (content.htm) to the left contains a list of links with the second frame (link.htm) as a target. The second frame shows the linked document. One of the links in the navigation frame is linked to a specified section in the target file. The HTML code in the file "content.htm" looks like this: <a href ="link.htm" target ="showframe">Link without Anchor</a><br><a href ="link.htm#C10" target ="showframe">Link with Anchor</a>.
