Frames are an important step forward in designing web pages. They allow you to create documents with multiple windows with each frame being a mini-page in its own right. You can add scrollbars to the frames, allow users to manipulate the sizes of the frames, have permanent headers/footers/indexes.

To create a page with frames on we need to use a frameset tag. Coupled with this we can also use a noframes tag which allows us to write a section of a document that will be displayed by browsers incapable of displaying frames.

The following is a basic frameset splitting a page into two rows:


<html>
<head>
<title>Frameset</title>
</head>
<frameset rows="150, *">
	<frame src="title1.htm">
	<frame src="main1.htm">
</frameset>
<noframes>
<body>
<p>This web page uses frames, but your browser does not support them.</p>
</body>
</noframes>
</html>

This page would look like this.
