Chapter 4. Frames
Version 2.0 of Netscape Navigator introduced a new capability for web documents called frames. Frames allow you to divide the main browser window into smaller subwindows (frames), each of which simultaneously displays a separate document. Frame support has since been incorporated into Microsoft Internet Explorer as well.
Two tags are used to make frame documents: <frameset> and
<frame>. The <noframes> element provides alternative
content for nonframes browsers. This is a requirement for HTML 4.0 and should
contain functional content, or a link to it, instead of telling
someone to get a browser that supports frames.
A frameset is simply a collection of frames that occupy the browser’s
window. Column and row definition attributes for the <frameset>
tag let you define the number and initial sizes for the columns
and rows of frames. The <frame> tag defines what document--HTML
or otherwise—initially goes into the frame, and is
where you may give the frame a name to use for hypertext link targets.
Here is the HTML source for a simple frame document, which is displayed by the browser in Figure 4.1.
