Notes
Example: To create three vertical frames, use cols=”100, 500, 100".

™ A percentage of the browser window.

Example: To create three vertical frames, use cols=”10%, 80%, 10%”.

™ Using a wildcard symbol.

Example: To create three vertical frames, use cols=”10%, *,10%”. In this case wildcard
takes remainder of the window.
™ As relative widths of the browser window.

Example: To create three vertical frames, use cols=”3*,2*,1*”.
z rows: attribute works just like the cols attribute and can take the same values, but it is used
to specify the rows in the frameset.

Example: To create two horizontal frames, use rows=”10%, 90%”.

You can specify the height of each row in the same way as explained above for columns.
z border: attribute specifies the width of the border of each frame in pixels.

Example: Border= “5.”
z frameborder: specifies whether a three-dimensional border should be displayed between
frames. This attribute takes value either 1 (yes) or 0 (no).

Example: Frameborder= ”0” specifies no border.
z framespacing: specifies the amount of space between frames in a frameset. This can take
any integer value.

Example: Framespacing= “10” means there should be 10 pixels spacing between each
frames.

Frame Tag

The <frame> element indicates what goes in each frame of the frameset. It should always carry
one attribute, src to indicate the page that should represent that frame.
Frame tag consists of certain attributes. Some of them are described below:
z src: indicates the file that should be used in the frame. Its value can be any URL.

Example: src=”/html/top_frame.htm” will load an HTML file available in html directory.
z name: attribute allows you to give a name to a frame. It is used to indicate which frame a
document should be loaded into.
