HTML frame Tag

Last Updated : 11 Jul, 2025

HTML <frame> tag is used to divide web browser windows into multiple sections, each capable of loading content independently. This is achieved using a collection of frames within a frameset tag.

Note: The <frame> tag is deprecated in HTML 5.

html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

<body>
    <frameset rows="20%, 60%, 20%">
        <frame name="top" 
               src="./attr1.html" />
        <frame name="main" 
               src="./gradient.html" />
        <frame name="bottom" 
               src="./colLast.html" />
        <noframes>
            <p>The browser you are using does not support frames.</p>
        </noframes>
    </frameset>
</body>

</html>

The above example basically used to create three horizontal frames i.e. top, middle and bottom using row attribute of frameset tag and the noframe tag is used for those browser who doesn't support noframe.

Syntax

<frameset cols="50%, 50%">
  <frame src="page1.html">
  <frame src="page2.html">
</frameset>
