Chapter 11. Frames

Frames are a method for dividing the browser window into smaller sub-windows, each displaying a different HTML document. This chapter covers the structure and creation of framed documents, controls for affecting their display and function, as well as some advanced tips and tricks.

Summary of Frame Tags

In this section, browser support for each tag is noted to the right of the tag name. Browsers that do not support the tag are grayed out. Browsers that deprecate the tag are noted with a superscript D. Tag usage is indicated below the tag name. A more thorough listing of attributes for each tag, according to the HTML 4.0 Specification, appears in Appendix A.
