ParameterDescription
BORDER=pixels Defines the space between the frames in pixels, including the 3D border. For nested FRAMESETS, the border can only be defined for the top-level FRAMESET element.
BORDERCOLOR=color Sets border color and must be used with the BORDER attribute, except for frames. For a complete list of colors, look at the Internet Explorer color table.
CLASS=classname Specifies the class of the tag being defined. This is used to associate a sub-classed style sheet with the tag.
COLS=col-widths A comma delimited list of frames to create. Each item in the list contains the initial size of the column. You can specify the column dimensions by percentage (%), pixels, or a relative size (*)
FRAMEBORDER=NO | YES | 0 | 1 Specifies whether or not to display a border for the frame. "YES" or 1 causes a border to be displayed (default). "NO" or 0 displays no border.
FRAMESPACING=spacing Creates additional space between the frames in pixels.
ID=value An SGML identifier used as the target for hypertext links or for naming particular elements in associated style sheets. Valid ID values must begin with a letter. The underbar character, "_", may be used in the ID name. The ID should be unique throughout the scope of the document. If more than one object with the same identifier exists in a document, a collection of those named items is created that can only be referenced by ordinal position.
LANG=language Specifies which language to use in ISO standard language abbreviation form.
LANGUAGE=JAVASCRIPT | JSCRIPT | VBS | VBSCRIPT Specifies the language the current script is written in and invokes the proper scripting engine. The default value is JAVASCRIPT.
JAVASCRIPT, JSCRIPT The scripting language is written in JavaScript.
VBS, VBSCRIPT The scripting language is written in VBScript.
ROWS=row-heights A comma delimited list of frames to create. Each item in the list contains the initial size of the row. You can specify the row dimensions by percentage (%), pixels, or a relative size (*).
TITLE=text Used to provide advisory information.

Remarks

A frameset organizes multiple frames on the screen. Only frames, nested FRAMESETelements, and the NOFRAMES tag are valid within a frameset.

This element is a block element.

Both the start and end tags are required.

Example

<FRAMESET COLS="25%, 50%, *">
