HTML - <frame> Tag

The HTML <frame> tag is used to specify each frame within a frameset tag.

Note that this tag is not supported in HTML5.

Example

The following example illustrates how to create frames in HTML using "frameset" tag.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

   <head>
      <title>HTML frame Tag</title>
   </head>

   <frameset cols = "200, *">
      <frame src = "/html/menu.htm" name = "menu_page" />
      <frame src = "/html/main.htm" name = "main_page" />
      
      <noframes>
         <body>
            Your browser does not support frames.
         </body>
      </noframes>
      
   </frameset>
	
</html>

The above HTML code will generate a window displaying two frames. The left frame is menu.htm and the right one is main.htm.
