Frames

To create a frame definition documnet, you use the <frameset> tag. When used in an HTML document, the <frameset> tag replaces the <body> tag as shown here

<html>
<head>
<title>HTML Tutorial</title>
<head>
<frameset>

your frame definition goes here.
</frameset>
</html>

The cols attribute
When you define a <frameset> tag, you must include one of two attributes as part of the tag definition. The first of these attributes is the cols attribute which takes the following form:

<frameset cols="column width, column,...">

You define the width of each frame in one of three ways: explicitly in pixels, as a percentage of the total width of the <frameset>, or with an asterisk (*). When you use the *, your browser uses as much space as possible for the specified frame.

Example
<frameset cols="100,50%,*">

Output

The rows attribute
The rows attribute works the same as the cols attribute, except that it splits the screen into horizontal frames rather than vertical ones.

Example
<frameset cols="50%,50%,">

Output
