`<frameset>` HTML frameset element

View on MDN ↗

The <frameset> HTML element is used to contain <frame> elements.

[!NOTE] Because the use of frames is now discouraged in favor of using <iframe>, this element is not typically used by modern websites.

Attributes

Like all other HTML elements, this element supports the global attributes.

  • cols Deprecated
    • : This attribute specifies the number and size of horizontal spaces in a frameset.
  • rows Deprecated
    • : This attribute specifies the number and size of vertical spaces in a frameset.

Example

A frameset document

A frameset document has a <frameset> element instead of a <body> element. The <frame> elements are placed within the <frameset>.

<!doctype html>
<html lang="en-US">
  <head>
    <!-- Document metadata goes here -->
  </head>
  <frameset cols="50%, 50%">
    <frame
      src="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Reference/Elements/iframe" />
    <frame
      src="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Reference/Elements/frame" />
  </frameset>
</html>

If you want to embed another HTML page into the <body> of a document, use an <iframe> element.
