Unit 5: Creating Tables

Named frames can have their window contents targeted with the TARGET attribute. Notes
frameborder=”1|0"
FRAMEBORDER is a boolean which triggers the display of frame separators around the frame.
When set to “1” a separator is drawn on every side next to another frame. When set to “0” the
decision to draw separators is left to surrounding frames. Indeed in this case separators might
still be drawn because FRAMEBORDER is set “1” on adjacent frames. Default is “1”.
marginwidth=”value”
The MARGINWIDTH attribute is used when the document author wants some control of the
margins for this frame. If specified, the value for MARGINWIDTH is in pixels. Margins can not
be less than one; this insures that frame objects won’t touch frame edges, and can’t be specified
in a way that leaves no space for the document contents. The MARGINWIDTH attribute is
optional; by default, all frames default to letting the browser decide on an appropriate margin
width.
marginheight=”value”
The MARGINHEIGHT attribute is just like MARGINWIDTH above, except it controls the upper
and lower margins instead of the left and right margins.

noresize

The NORESIZE attribute doesn’t require a value. It can simply be used as a flag to indicates that
the frame is not resizable by the user. Users typically resize frames by dragging a frame edge to
a new position. Note that if any frame adjacent to an edge is not resizable, that entire edge is
restricted from moving. This affects the resizability of other frames. The NORESIZE attribute is
optional; by default all frames are resizable.

scrolling=”yes|no|auto”

The SCROLLING attribute indicates whether the frame should have scrollbars or not. “yes”
results in scrollbars always being visible on that frame. “no” results in scrollbars never being
visible. “auto” instructs the browser to decide whether scrollbars are needed, and to place them
where necessary. That is, with “auto”, the frame has scrollbars only if the document is larger
than the current size of the frame.

Did u know? The SCROLLING attribute is optional; the default value is “auto.”

Example:
<frameset cols=”25%,75%”>
<frame src=”frame_a.htm”>
<frame src=”frame_b.htm”>
</frameset>
The output will be:
