<frameset> Tag in HTML

The <frameset> tag was used in HTML 4 to divide a browser window into multiple sections, where each section could load a separate HTML document. This was often used to create navigation menus and content areas within the same page.

Key Points on <frameset> Tag:

The <frameset> tag replaces the <body> tag when used.
The rows and cols attributes define the number and size of rows and columns for frames.
Frames are deprecated in HTML5, as they can create usability and accessibility issues.

Syntax of <frameset> Tag:

Syntax Example

<frameset rows="50%,50%">
            <frame src="page1.html">
            <frame src="page2.html">
        </frameset>

Example of <frameset> Tag in HTML:

This example creates a frameset with two rows, each displaying a different HTML page.

Code Example


        <!DOCTYPE html>
        <html>
            <head>
                <title>Frameset Example</title>
            </head>
            <frameset rows="50%,50%">
                <frame src="html1.1.html">
                <frame src="html1.1.html">
            </frameset>
        </html>

Output

This would split the window into two frames. The content of html1.1.html would be displayed in both the top and bottom frames. Note: <frameset> is deprecated in HTML5 and has been replaced by CSS and <iframe> tags for similar functionality.

While the <frameset> tag was useful for creating multi-pane layouts in early web designs, it is no longer supported in HTML5. It is recommended to use CSS for layout and <iframe> for embedding external content in modern web development.
