UNIT 5 HTML

The HTML <frame> tag is used to create multiple sections in a web browser window, allowing each section to load content independently. However, it is deprecated due to usability and SEO issues, replaced by the <iframe> tag and modern layout techniques like CSS Grid. Common attributes of the <frame> tag included src, name, scrolling, and noresize, but it has been largely replaced by more versatile and compatible methods in HTML5.

HTML frame Tag

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.
<!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>

Syntax
<frameset cols="50%, 50%">
<frame src="page1.html">
<frame src="page2.html">
</frameset>
HTML frame Tag Attributes
HTML <frame> name Attribute
This attribute is used to give names to the frame. It differentiate
one frame from another. It is also used to indicate which frame a
document should loaded into.

<frame name = "main" src =
"C:/Users/dharam/Desktop/gradient3.png" />
<frame name = "bottom" src =
"C:/Users/dharam/Desktop/col_last.png" />
Here we use three frames with names as left center and right.
HTML <frame> src Attribute
This attribute in frame tag is basically used to define the source
file that should be loaded into the frame.The value of src can be
any url.
Example
<frame name = "left" src = "/html/left.htm" />
In the above example name of frame is left and source file will be
loaded from “/html/left.htm” in frame.
HTML <frame> marginwidth Attribute
This attribute in frame tag is used to specify width of the spaces
in pixels between the border and contents of left and right
frame.

<frame marginwidth="20">
HTML <frame> marginheight Attribute

in pixels between the border and contents of top and bottom
frame.

appearance of scroll bar.

Why is the <frame> tag deprecated?


The <frame> tag is deprecated because it causes significant
usability, accessibility, and SEO issues. It has been replaced by
more modern approaches like <iframe> and CSS for layout
purposes.
What replaced the <frame> and <frameset> tags in
HTML5?
The <iframe> tag and modern layout techniques like Flexbox
and CSS Grid have replaced the <frame> and <frameset> tags.
<iframe> allows embedding content while maintaining modern
web standards.
What attributes were commonly used with the <frame>
tag?
Common attributes included:
 src: Specifies the URL of the content to be displayed in
the frame.
 name: Gives the frame a name, allowing links to target
that frame.
 scrolling: Controls whether scrollbars appear (values:
“yes”, “no”, “auto”).
 noresize: Prevents the user from resizing the frame.
How does the <frame> tag differ from the <iframe> tag?
The <frame> tag is used within a <frameset> to define sections
of a page, while the <iframe> tag is used to embed content
within a single page. <iframe> is more versatile and compatible
with modern HTML5 standards.
How did the <frame> tag impact website navigation?
The <frame> tag often led to confusing navigation because each
frame could independently load different content, making it
difficult for users to bookmark specific pages or use the
browser’s back/forward buttons effectively.

What to Use Instead?


Example
Use the <iframe> tag to embed another document within the current HTML
document

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<h1>The iframe element</h1>
<iframe src="https://www.w3schools.com" title="W3Schools Free Online Web Tutorials">
</iframe>
</body>
</html>
