Using Frames in
a Web Page
Tutorial V

FRAMES
are windows appearing within the
browser’s display area, each capable
of displaying the contents of a
different HTML file.

Things to consider before
creating your frames:
– What information will be displayed in
each of the frames?
– How do you want the frames placed on
the Web Page? What is the size of each
frame?
– Which frames will be static—that is,
always showing the same content?

Things to consider before
creating your frames:
– Which frames will change in response to
hyperlinks being clicked?
– What Web pages will users see first
when they access the site?
– Do you want to allow users to resize the
frames and change the layout of the
page?

Creating Frame Layout
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE> Page Title </TITLE>
</HEAD>
<FRAMESET>
Frame definitions
</FRAMESET>
</HTML>

Syntax:
• <FRAMESET ROWS=”row height,
row height, row height,…..”>
• <FRAMESET COLS=”column width,
column width, column width, …”>

Specifying a Frame Source
To specify the source for the frame’s
content, enter following HTML tag:
<FRAME SRC = document>
where document is the filename or
URL of the page that you want to
display in the frame.

Nesting <FRAMESET> Tags
EXAMPLE:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE> The Colorado Experience </TITLE>
</HEAD>
<FRAMESET ROWS=”60, *”>

<FRAME SRC = “Head.htm”>
<!!--- Nested frames ---->
<FRAMESET COLS=”140,*”>
</FRAMESET>
</FRAMESET>
</HTML>

Controlling the Appearance of
Scroll Bars
Syntax:
<FRAME SRC=document
SCROLLING = value>
Where value can be either YES (to
display scroll bars) or NO (to
remove scroll bars)

Frame’s margin
MARGINWIDTH – is the amount of
space that appears to the page’s left
and right.
MARGINHEIGHT – is the amount of
space (in pixels) that appears above
and below the content of the page
margin.

Syntax:
<FRAME SRC=document
MARGINHEIGHT=value
MARGINWIDTH=value>

To keep users from resizing
frames, enter the tag:
<FRAME SRC=document
NORESIZE>

<BASE> tag
it appears within the <HEAD> tags of
your HTML file and used to specify
global options for the page. One
property of the <BASE> tag is the
TARGET property, which identifies
a default target for all of the page’s
hyperlinks.

Magic target names
are special names reserved by HTML
that can be used in place of a frame
name as a target for a hypertext link.

Magic Target
Magic target name Description
_blank Loads the document into a new
window
_self Loads the document into the
same frame or window that
contains the hyperlink tag.
_parent In a layout of nested frames,
loads the document into the
frame that contains the frame
with the hyperlink tag.
_top Loads the document into the full
display area, replacing the
current frame layout.

<NOFRAMES> tag
identifies a section of your HTML file
that contains code to be read by
frame-blind browsers.

Using Frames Extensions
To define a color for your frame borders,
use the following tags:
<FRAMESET BORDERCOLOR=color>
Or
<FRAME BORDERCOLOR=color>
where color is either the color name or
color value.

Using Frames Extensions
To change the width of your frame
borders, use the tag:
<FRAMESET BORDER=value>
where value is the width of the border
in pixels.
