The <frameset> tag


Definition and Usage

The frameset element defines a frameset. It is used to organize multiple windows (frames). Each frame holds a separate document. In its simplest use, the frameset element states only how many columns or rows there will be in the frameset. You must use the cols or the rows attribute. 


Differences Between HTML and XHTML

NONE


Tips and Notes

Note: If you want to validate a page containing frames, be sure the DTD is set to "Frameset DTD". Read more about XHTML Validation.

Note: Do not use the body element on a page containing frames. The frames wont work if you do that.
