Frames
FRAMESET tags define a collection of rows or columns in a frame designed web page. Values for dimensions can be percentages (e.g. COLS="20%,30%,50%" or abolsute pixels. A value of "*" fills the remaning space. Frameborder turns the dividers on (1) or off (0); if the dividers are "on" then they have a width specified by the value of BORDER.

FRAME tags define content for a frame; SRC indicates URL for content. Value of scrolling determines whether scroll bars are displayed. If NORESIZE is included, the frames cannot be adjusted in size by the viewer.

Content in the NOFRAMES tags is displayed if the browser does not support frames.
