Editing Frame (World Wide Web) (section)

==Tags and attributes==

The frames in HTML are created using the <code><frameset></frameset></code> tag pair. The <code><frameset></code> tag is a container tag for all other tags that are used to create frames. The <code><frameset></code> tag replaces the <code><body></code> tag in frameset documents.The <code><frameset></code> tag defines how to divide the window into frames.

Each frameset defines a set of rows or columns.&nbsp; If user define frames by using the <code>rows</code> attribute then horizontal frames are created. If user define frames by using <code>cols</code> then vertical frames are created.

The <code><noframes></code> element may be included so web browsers with frames disabled (or browsers that do not support frames) can display something to the user, as in this example:
<syntaxhighlight lang="html">
<frameset cols="85%, 15%">
  <frame src="http://www.example.com/frame_1.html" name="frame_1">
  <frame src="http://alt.example.com/frame_2.html" name="frame_2">
  <noframes>
    Your browser does not support frames. 
    <a href="http://www.example.com/frame_1.html">Click here</a> to view frame 1. 
    <a href="http://alt.example.com/frame_2.html">Click here</a> for frame 2.
  </noframes>
</frameset>
</syntaxhighlight>

Framesets have a <code>border</code> attribute. If set to an integer greater than 0, the user can resize the frames by dragging this border, unless a <code>noresize</code> attribute is present in a frame element. If border is set to 0, no border will be displayed and content in different frames will abut each other without delineation.

The <code>iframe</code> element is used inline within a normal HTML body, and defines the initial content and name similarly to the <code>frame</code> element. Any text inside an <code><iframe></iframe></code> tag pair will be displayed in browsers that do not understand the iframe tag.
<syntaxhighlight lang="html">
<iframe src="http://www.example.com/frame_1.html" height="480" width="640">
    Your browser does not support iframes. <a href="http://www.example.com/frame_1.html">Click here</a> to view the content.
</iframe>
</syntaxhighlight>
