Synopsis

<frameset>...</frameset>

Defines a collection of frames or other framesets.

Attributes

frameborder= 1|0 (Internet Explorer 3+ and W3C 4.0 Spec.); yes|no (Navigator 3+ and Internet Explorer 4.0)

frameborder=yes frameborder=1 ...
framespacing=number

Internet Explorer 3.0 and higher only. Adds additional space (in pixels) between adjacent frames.

rows=list (number, percentage, or *)
