Introduction to Frames

The HTML frame is a powerful feature that enables a web page to be broken into different unique sections that are related but can be operated independently without depending on each other.
Deprecated : FRAME & FRAMESET tags are not supported in HTML5 ,
better to avoid.
Use <iframe> instead.

The splitting of a browser screen into frames can be done by using <Frameset> and </Frameset> tags.

Attributes of <Frameset>tag :

<Frameset> tags require one of the following attributes depending on whether to divide the screen in rows or columns.
