The <frameset> tag in HTML is used to define the frameset. The <frameset> element contains one or more frame elements. It is used to specify the number of rows and columns in frameset with their pixel of spaces. Each element can hold a separate document. 

Note: The <frameset> tag is not supported in HTML5.

Syntax: 

<frameset cols = "pixels|%|*">

Attributes: The list of frameset attributes are given below: 
 

  • cols: The cols attribute is used to create vertical frames in a web browser. This attribute is basically used to define the no. of columns and their size inside the frameset tag.
  • rows: The rows attribute is used to create horizontal frames in the web browser. This attribute is used to define the no. of rows and their size inside the frameset tag.
  • border: This attribute of frameset tag defines the width of the border of each frame in pixels. Zero value is used for no border.
  • frameborder: This attribute of frameset tag is used to specify whether a three-dimensional border should be displayed between the frames or not for this use two values 0 and 1, where 0 defines no border and value 1 signifies for yes there will be a border.
  • framespacing: This attribute of frameset tag is used to specify the amount of spacing between the frames in a frameset. This can take any integer value as a parameter which basically denotes the value in pixel.

Below examples illustrate the <frameset> element in HTML:
Example 1: 

HTML




<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <title>frameset attribute</title>
    </head>
     
    <!-- frameset attribute starts here -->   
    <frameset rows = "20%, 60%, 20%">
        <frame name = "top" src = "attr1.png" />
        <frame name = "main" src = "gradient3.png" />
        <frame name = "bottom" src = "col_last.png" />
        <noframes>
            <body>The browser you are working does not
                                  support frames.</body>
        </noframes>
    </frameset>
    <!-- frameset attribute ends here -->
</html>                               


Output:

HTML




<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

        <frame name = "top" src = "attr1.png" />
        <frame name = "main" src = "gradient3.png" />
        <frame name = "bottom" src = "col_last.png" />        
        <noframes>
            <body>The browser you are working does
            not support frames.</body>
        </noframes>
    </frameset>
</html>
