Lecture 5
HTML Advance Tags –
Today
we will learn about HTML Frames tag.
HTML
Frame: HTML frames are used
to divide or split browser window in several individual frames or parts that
can contain a separate HTML document.
Advantages of Frames:
- It improves
usability and appearance of a Webpage.
- We can open a
webpage in desired frames without opening new window in web browser.
- It reduces
downloading time.
For
using frames in HTML document, we take help of following two tags-
- <frame set>
tag – <body> tag is
replaced by <frameset> tag to use concept of frames. Or <body> tag
is not used in any HTML webpage that contains <frameset> tag.
Attributes
of <frameset> tag:
2. <frame>
tag :Frame tag is used to
add HTML document into the frameset.
Attributes of <frame> tag:
Example:
Explanation: In this example we use <frameset> tag in
place of <body> tag. We use frameset ’s rows attribute to divide browser
window into two rows of 40% and 60%. Then we use two <frame> tags to put
the html document into each row of frameset. In browser window, two rows
showing nothing as we put ‘#’ in ‘src’ attribute. You can put any html
documents name with extension (.html) to show in frameset in browser window,
like <frame src=”name.html”>.
Types
of Frameset: There are 3 types of
frameset –
-
Row type
frameset –
Explanation: In this, we use <frameset> tag in place of
<body> tag. We use frameset’s rows attribute to divide browser window
into two rows of 40% and 60%. Then we use two <frame> tags to put the
html document into each row of frameset. In browser window, two rows showing
nothing as we put ‘#’ in ‘src’ attribute. You can put any html documents name
with extension (.html) to show in frameset in browser window, like <frame
src=”name.html”>.
2.
Column type
frameset –
Explanation: In this, we use <frameset> tag in place of
<body> tag. We use frameset’s cols attribute to divide browser window
into two columns of 50% each. Then we use two <frame> tags to put the
html document into each row of frameset. In browser window, two columns showing
nothing as we put ‘#’ in ‘src’ attribute. You can put any html documents name
with extension (.html) to show in frameset in browser window, like <frame
src=”name.html”>.
3.
3. Mixed type
frameset – which include both rows and columns.
Explanation: In this, we use <frameset> tag in place of
<body> tag. We use frameset ’s rows attribute to divide browser window
into two rows of 50% each. Then we use <frame> tags to put the html
document into first row of frameset. In second row, we use <frameset> tag
again to divide second row. In second <frameset> tag, we use ‘cols’
attribute to divide second row into two columns of 40% and 80%. In Browser
window, all frames showing nothing as we put ‘#’ in ‘src’ attribute. You can
put any html documents name with extension (.html) to show in frameset in
browser window, like <frame src=”name.html”>.

In Next lecture, we will learn HTML Form and their different elements.
